We provide a fantastic opportunity for children worldwide from different countries and cultures to show their artistic talents and be a positive force that brings all of us together.
We believe that this opportunity comes with responsibility to keep personal views on sensitive issues (religious, political, military conflicts, and likewise) separate from the Competition.
Therefore we will not accept artworks that contain references to such themes.

OCTOBER 21, 2023
