Marvin Lagorte, a 12-year-old student of the Commonwealth Elementary School in Quezon City, bested 3,000 other entries to emerge as one of the grand prize winners in the 2010 Hong Kong International Students' Visual Arts Contest cum Exhibition for his work entitled My World-My Dream.

Cyril Boisson, one of the judges, was so impressed by Marvin's work that he was quoted as saying that "with a good eye and a good heart, Marvin may become a Picasso from the Philippine." As a testament to Marvin's talent, his work was engraved into the trophies of appreciation that were given to the judges.

For his achievement, Marvin was awarded US$1,000.00 a trophy, and a certificate. Consul General Claro S. Cristobal received the trophy and certificate in Marvin's behalf during the awarding ceremonies held last 14 August at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
