The beauty of nature reflected in art is just another reminder of our need to protect and conserve it in a sustainable way. In celebration of our 10th anniversary, CCB hosted an art competition in select primary and secondary schools in Jwaneng and Ghanzi respectively during the month of September 2014. With the school art competition, we wanted to know what the youth of Jwaneng and Ghanzi have to say about their environment, how they express themselves with regards to Botswana predators through art, and finally share that with their peers, teachers, communities, visitors and the public and private sector through a high profile art exhibition. The theme for the art competition was “Harmonious coexistence with Botswana’s predators”. The prize-giving ceremonies in these two places were held on the 11th and 18th October 2014 respectively. The art competition helped CCB to establish how much knowledge of predator conservation the students can interpret through drawings in these areas which are prime CCB operational bases. The prizes for the winners included a certificate of participation, art kit hampers and CCB merchandise. We only hope that the prizes and recognition will nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity in the field of arts and culture. We would like to thank our sponsors, Debswana Jwaneng Mine and Classic Auto in Gaborone
