Africa's
indigenous baobab trees look upside down according
to legend, as if their branches were roots sprawling out for all to
see. Maybe this is why baobabs can live for thousands of
years! In the spirit of the baobab, enjoy the creativity of our
entrants...
"Wisdom is like a Baobab Tree;
no
one individual can embrace it", therefore the task must be
shared
