The winning entry of the $100,000 USD Prize was a digital collection of 10,000 golden and Fabergé-inspired jewelled Skulls, the artist calls "Skullduggeries".

Along with his winning entry, Korvium quoted the following reason for the collection:

"The skull is a consistent and instantly recognisable design across all cultures. Depending on the context skulls can mean fortune, death, danger, happiness, sadness, love, life and even divinity. Skull artwork and carvings are scattered across human history, from the ancient to the modern day. Regardless of where we live, the languages we speak, our race, our gender, our beliefs, or even our faith, we all have one. Skulls are remarkable in that they are simultaneously universal and unique. While each person's skull is immediately recognisable and equivalent, no two are identical. The 10,000 individual NFTs of the "Skullduggeries" collection embody this dichotomy. Each one is unique yet equivalent, just as each human being's individual story is unique while at the same time sharing more in common than separates us. A skull is special in that all living humans must have one yet, unlike vital organs which quickly decompose, the skull remains intact after death. Skulls remind us all - rich or poor - that nobody is immortal, life is precious, and color is and always has been, only skin deep!".

Not much is known about the identity of artist, as he always appears masked and under a pseudonym. More details may be found on the artist's website by visiting: www.korvium.com

Korvium is scheduled to meet the Secretary-General of EDU personally in Brussels later in the year.

On behalf of EDU, we would like to express our gratitude to the talented artists around the world who sent in almost 11,000 entries.
