Honourable commendation of the Panathlon International

July 5, 2022/in Drawing Contest, Photo Contest

By voting results, the Honourable commendation of the Panathlon International goes to Nina Tome Skarja from University of Ljubljana, (Slovenia) for digital drawing “CONNECTED & SUPPORTED”.

Digital drawing, 30×40 | Sport is rarely a solitary activity. It brings together a wide variety of people and connect communities worldwide. The crowds and the sportsmen gathering in indiscriminately good spirits is the dream of everyone who knows how beautiful true sportmanship can be. As such, my piece depicts a sportsperson receiving united support from interconnected people, who should not only represent their family, friends and fans, but competitors and strangers witnessing their performance as well!

PCU Committee mourns passing of Alain Verschoren

The Committee of Panathlon Clubs of Universities is deeply saddened to hear about the demise of Alain Verschoren, Chairman of the PCU Drawing and Photo Contests, at the age of sixty-six. His wife Lin Van De Cruys informed the PCU Committee leadership of his passing in Tenerife, Spain.

Prof. Dr. Alain Verschoren was a former Dean of the faculty of mathematics at the Belgian University of Antwerp and Rector at the same university from 2008 until 2016. In 2016 Alain Verschoren became Chairman of the University of Antwerp and Panathlon Drawing Contest and in 2019 he became also the Chairman of the University of Antwerp and Panathlon Photo Contest.

“It is a personal grief that we feel upon hearing this tragic news,” said PCU Committee President Peter Verboven. “His presence and contribution to our movement will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family.”
