Judging

At 1:00 pm almost everybody submitted their entry...

...aside from those na humihirit pa!

Meron pa palang nag submit... " Nasa labas po kami... napasarap eh!"

Rani suggested to stick the entries below the works of the Guhit Pinoy for judging. So the artworks below were amongst of the entries submitted.

Syempre aligid-aligid na 'yong mga mother's...taasan nang kilay..., sabi ng isa... "Mmmmm....talo 'to sa anak ko."

Simula na ang final judging... kita mo yung kamay nang judge?





We prefer not to name our judges...to avoid... alam nyo na...intrigas.

Parang iniwasan dikitan ng mga entry 'tong sa kay Hannibal? 'bat kaya? Censored kasi...

Tallying the scores... Darwin, Esber, and Nonoy.

Kaya Nyo Ba 'To?

Ang tanong... "Kaya Nyo Ba 'To?" Ang portion na to ay para sa mga contestant na nakakaiba...kaya mo bang mag drawing na naka tuwad?

Tulad itong si inday naka hanap ng magandang pwesto.

kanya-kanyang tuwad 'o higa... wala kasing lamisa...

Merong loner...

Magandang solusyon 'to... sa hita naka diin...

'O kaya nyu ba 'to?

Ang mga to artist talaga... terno ang drawing nila sa kanilang gamit at damit.

Contest Proper

At around 10:am the contest proper begins. The room was silent... you can almost hear the rubbings sounds of pencils.

We would like to thank our sponsors - Hoshan Pan Gulf - The biggest dealers of stationeries and school supplies all over the middle east. They provided us art materials ( coloured pencils ) from Staedtler and Maped.

Tuwang-tuwa ang mga contestant...imagine libre pa ang gamit at papel.

Teen category... seryusong seryuso...





Yung iba humanap ng maganda pwesto sa labas sa garden ng Philippine Embassy.

Tahimik ang pwesto na 'to.

Ang iba naman tumabi sa ibang organization.

Itong mga chubby kids sa canteen pumwesto... baka mamya gutomin ...d malapit na lng sa bilihan ng tsibug.
