COMPETITION RESULTS
All entries for the Jain Spirit Essay Competition, announced in June 2001 (Issue 8), have been received and marked by our judges. The competition was quite fierce and the judges, Shaileen Shah and Sonali Mehta said: "the quality of the entries were high with some very young, remarkable writers. They all managed to focus on the topics and provide concise articles." They added: "It is evident that the applicants have a keen interest in the Jain philosophy. We admire and respect them for taking the time, energy and effort to think, write and submit their essays." The majority of entries came from Kenya, which appears to be one of the most active countries in terms of Jain youth education. Hopefully, next year more competition from other countries will be submitted.
Winning entries will be published in forthcoming issues.

RANGOLI BRIGHTENS UP V&A MUSEUM
The Victoria & Albert Museum held a Diwali event this year in which Indian craft work such as rangoli and henna hand painting were demonstrated to the public. The rangoli demonstration was organised by Shobna, Pratima and Naina Haria, who also organised the demonstration last year, as reported in Jain Spirit. They explained: "any floor can be your studio for creating beautiful floor paintings known as rangoli. Rangoli is an opportunity to integrate the body, mind and soul."
