Students from around the world submitted their vision of a world peace flag. One entry was selected by the judging committee to become an official UN Stamp to represent the International Day of Peace.

The winner was Mateja Prunk, 12 years old, Slovenia, whose flag athttp://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/peaceflag/results/pages/winners/winner1.htm represents:

The sun and the earth are intertwined, they do not function one without the other. The sun represents optimism and positive energy.
