Dr. Kongkrapan said, “GC organized the 5^th “Miracle of Petrochemicals” painting contest which is open to young people and the public, and aims to increase awareness and understanding of the petrochemical industry while helping our youth to unleash their abilities by channeling their imaginations, general knowledge, and creative ideas into painting. This year, the contest adopted the theme of “Circular Living”, which involves the efficient use of resources by creating value-added products through the upcycling process.”

Young people nationwide submitted a total of 1,051 paintings in the contest this year. The judges focused on three criteria: Communications about Circular Living, Creative Ideas, and Distinctive Compositions and Painting Techniques. All of the participating and award-winning paintings will be exhibited at the Energy Complex (EnCo) building, and GC’s Rayong office, as well as through the online exhibit at Facebook PTTGC: มหัศจรรย์ปิโตรเคมี
