About Contest

The International Children’s Drawing Contest is an annual event that empowers young artists from around the world to express their dreams and hopes through art. As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the contest, we're thrilled to have received numerous applications from all corners of the globe. We're proud to be officially recognized by the Keith Haring Foundation and to have a diverse panel of judges, including individuals from fields such as fashion, medicine, beauty, and art.

Our judges evaluate each artwork with care and attention to detail, selecting the best ones based on their creativity, originality, and overall impact. We believe that the contest provides children with an excellent opportunity to showcase their artistic skills and express their ideas in a supportive and encouraging environment.

We're excited to see the amazing artwork that these young artists will create and look forward to celebrating their creativity and imagination. Join us in supporting and uplifting the next generation of artists!
