The short film is about two people who have lost something, one of them something
something material and the other is lost in thought. They show different places in the city, both beautiful and not so beautiful, and find what they are looking for in the same place.
More than 300 young people from almost all parts of Saxony took part in the 12th competition for the LKJ Saxony Youth Art Prize at the Theater der Jungen Welt Leipzig on Saturday 22 June. First prizes went to Eilenburg, Chemnitz, Leipzig and Dresden.
Prizes totalling 2,400 euros were awarded.
The patron of the event, Petra Köpping, Minister of State for Equality and
Integration, opened the award ceremony with a welcoming address. She thanked the organisers and pointed out the political importance of compassion and love as the basis for good coexistence.
The response to the theme "Where is the love?" was high and the range of contributions was wide - more than 100 drawings, paintings, objects and photographs were presented as part of an exhibition. The search for love, affirmation and recognition with all its challenges struck a chord with the young people.
