The War Heritage Institute (WHI) challenges you to put together a short comic strip on the theme 'traces of war'.   For young artists aged 13 to 21.

Do you like to make up stories? Do you see speech bubbles above the heads of people you talk to? Are you interested in what it was like to live during the war? Have you ever tried to make a drawing with a few well-aimed pencil lines? Then the 'Stripped Past' competition might be for you. The War Heritage Institute (WHI) challenges you to put together a short comic strip on the theme 'traces of war'.  

History leaves traces in our daily lives. A street name, a square, a metro station, a school... A lost military cemetery in the middle of the countryside... A devastated landscape where nature has quietly regained its rights... A fortress, a trench... A monument, a plaque, a memorial or even a museum... Family archives or testimonies from the past kept in a library... All these traces may refer to the First or Second World War or to other conflicts, to characters who have distinguished themselves by their bravery, to places marked by fighting.
