In 2019, the first drawing contest for primary schools students about the Dog law was organized. This contest took place weeks after the National Plan, which addresses the stray dog problem, was announced. The theme for that year was the Dog law.
Last year a drawing and coloring contest was organized for kindergarten children till the third grade with a theme: “Your favorite pet”. This is the third year that a drawing contest is organized for children through their drawings express and learn about the Dog law. Post Aruba N.V. will use the drawing of four children as stamps for 2022. The deadline to submit the drawings was September 23, 2021.
The action committee received more than a thousand participation forms. On September 29, the judges chose 24 winners; for each school grade and theme, they chose a winner. Given the talent displayed by our children, the judges decided to nominate for each class a runner-up. Thirty children, each with one adult, received an invitation to receive their gift at the government building and take pictures with Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes, Minister Ursell Arends, and Minister Endy Croes.
