COLIBRI 2026 – THE RESULTS ARE HERE!
Dreams Without Borders – Celebrating Young Artists Around the World
We are delighted to announce the results of the XIX International COLIBRI Visual Arts Competition 2026!
This year, 62 young artists from 12 countries shared 84 remarkable artworks, each offering a unique glimpse into a world of imagination, creativity, and dreams.
Behind every painting and drawing is a young person with something to express — a story to tell, a feeling to share, or a world waiting to be discovered.
Our international jury has completed its evaluations, and the results are now available.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our distinguished jury members for their time, expertise, and thoughtful consideration of every artwork.
To our young artists: Whether you received First Place, Second Place, Third Place, or Honorable Mention, we hope you will continue to explore, experiment, and create.
Artistic achievement cannot always be measured by numbers, and every creative journey has its own extraordinary possibilities.
Certificates for all participants are currently being prepared and are expected to be ready in approximately one week.
Each certificate will be emailed directly to the participant’s family as a high-resolution PDF file, suitable for printing.
To the parents and teachers who encourage these young talents, thank you for believing in them and supporting their dreams.
Congratulations to all our participants!
With warmest wishes,

Colibri Art Excellence Gala & Exhibition – Postponed to 2027
The Colibri Art Excellence Gala & Exhibition originally scheduled for November 7, 2026, at Plummer Park has been postponed until 2027.
A new date will be announced once confirmed.
With 62 young artists participating from 12 countries, our exhibition requires additional time to coordinate with families worldwide and arrange artwork reproduction, printing, and display.
Judging and competition results will proceed as planned.
All participants will receive certificates, and first-place winners will receive monetary prizes.
THIS CHANGE AFFECTS THE GALA AND PHYSICAL EXHIBITION ONLY!
We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
All participants will be notified directly when the new exhibition details are available.
XIX INTERNATIONAL VISUAL ARTS COMPETITION FOR YOUNG ARTISTS
Welcome to the Colibri 2026 Visual Arts Competition
“Dreams Without Borders”
Art begins with curiosity.
It begins with a line, a color, a shape, a question, a dream.
The Colibri Visual Arts Competition celebrates young artists who see the world through their own unique perspective and have the courage to share it with others.
We invite children and young adults from around the world to present their creative work, explore new artistic horizons, and become part of an international community united by imagination and artistic expression.
The 2026 theme, “Dreams Without Borders,” celebrates creativity, hope, cultural diversity, and the belief that art can bring people together beyond borders, languages, and differences.
Every participant brings something valuable and irreplaceable: their own vision of the world.
Art unites.
Where there is creativity, there is light.
We invite you to share your vision with the world.
Create. Explore. Inspire.
