Angelo Reeves Dominic, a nine-year-old child residing in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is the only Filipino contestant in the United Nations’ (UN) Art for Peace competition.

“For me there is no need for bombs or guns or anything to harm people. My painting is called X because my math teacher tells me x is equal to nothing or zero. To have peace is like zero war,” Dominic said on the UN Art for Peace 2012 website.

Art for Peace is an annual contest for youths ages five to 17 years old worldwide. It is a joint program of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs and the Harmony for Peace Foundation.

The UN urges the public to show support for the artist by “liking or tweeting” their pages.

Children around the globe are still welcome to submit their entries in the contest until April 30 this year.
