Are you still missing the point of the contest?
Which was to somehow REPRESENT/REPLICATE some symbolism/etc. to convey
non-hearing to people through art. . .

How'd you get so far off the page?

CH>  GP> Beach-theme art represents beaches

Because you're still missing thi point that they were to represent deafness,
not highlight that deaf people have skills like painting, too!  (that's a
bloody GIVEN!)

CH>  GP> Sounds like a good challenge for people -- to find a way to visually

And thus the challenge, to interpret deafness so as to convey the concept
visually!
