International Art Competition About the competition The rules Forms Results About the competition 48th International Art Competition - take part in it! It's hard to believe the vacation is over. Luckily we have some good news! The next, already 48th International Art Competition is just starting - an inspiring project that brings together children from all over the world and connects them beyond all divisions! All this is possible thanks to the use of a universal language - crayons, paints, pastels, a pencil. When plastic utensils become the carrier of thoughts, it is impossible to exist! What is the idea behind us? We want to mobilize children to unconventional activities, build in them sensitivity to forms, shapes and colors, to the world around them! It is he who remains a treasury of knowledge and a mirror in which all emotions and desires are reflected. Through artistic activities, young artists can share their views, feelings and individual ways of perceiving reality with adults. This is a magic lesson that helps us understand the world of children. Another important aspect of the project is its educational value - shaping manual skills, awakening the imagination and trying to interpret other cultures. The international scope of the competition allows for a mental trip to distant lands and getting acquainted with poetics unusual for us. It is a real gallery of extraordinary! Every year, children amaze us with their ingenuity, craftsmanship and creativity. Collecting so many different works in one place is a real treat for the eyes and heart! In the last edition, over 13,000 works were sent to Japan and as many as 149 prizes were won by Polish children! This is an impressive result, which is all the more pleasing as one of the most important awards - The Award of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is awarded to only ten authors, went to our countryman!
