Green Canvas 2.0, organized by the Editorial Services Avenue of ZeroPlastic University of Peradeniya, was a vibrant celebration of youth creativity and environmental awareness. As the second chapter of this initiative, the event united talented students from ten schools, offering a platform to express their vision for a greener future through art.

Held at the University of Peradeniya, the competition welcomed students from Grades 9 to 11. Participants created impactful artworks centered on environmental themes. Ten outstanding pieces were selected, with special recognition awarded to three exceptional artists: 1st place – Mahamaya Girls’ College, Kandy; 2nd – Pushpadana Girls’ College, Kandy; and 3rd – Girls’ High School, Kandy.

This success was made possible by months of dedication from the organizing team led by Project Chair Bimsara Lokuliyange and Co-Chair Shyamali Herath, under the guidance of the Director of Editorial Services, Ishan Indunil with the support of Secretary Chamoda Nethmini and Treasurer Praboda Samarakoon. Content was crafted by Darshika Sathsarani and Dilmi Chamanga; visuals by Shashini Jayasooriya, Julia Wijetunga, and Ilma Sahabdeen. Fundraising was led by Nishara Divyanjalee with Nimesha Madusi, Vindusarani Senarathne, Fathima Shimla, and FMF Zainab. Event coordination was managed by Piyumi Herath with the support of Bawantha Prabhath, Sumith Prasanna, Chandima Muramudali, and Pabasara Dewmini.

The event was generously supported by sponsors Samudra Book Shop, Ceylon Paint Group, and Pentium. Special guest Mr. Prasanna Wimalarathne’s presence inspired all attendees, while numerous volunteers ensured the smooth execution of the event.
