drawing and painting contest 2000

Winners of the drawing and painting contest 2000

As we simply could not make up our mind we decided to award three first prizes in the STROMBOLI ON-LINE year 2000 drawing and painting contest.

Franziska Leinen (12), Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Franziska and Johanna submitted, as a team of artists, four incredible representations of Stromboli and it's scenery.

Franziska's very detailed drawing contains an incredible amount of detail all relevant to Stromboli. Just to mention a few: There are the many, typical houses, some of them with colored doors, of San Vincenzo and San Bartolo; noisy «Ape» and a motorcycle, without which Stromboli life would be unthinkable; tomatoes, hedged-in olive trees and vineyards; the winding road leading part of the way up the volcano (on the right); people watching eruptions from Pizzo and even Strombolicchio with its famous «horsehead».

We also enjoyed very much the binocular view of eruptions seen from Punta Labronzo and the wonderfully detailed and accurate representation of Stromboli's flora and fauna. Congratulations to the Leinen-team!
