To All Children,

It is the thirteenth time that we invite you to participate in our artistic competition devoted to the issues of environmental protection and nature around us.  As follows from the previous competitions, these matters are important to you.  We know how you value pure water and air, plants and animals, the blue sky and the green grass. Unfortunately, all this can be destroyed.  People not only profit from natural resources, but also do irreversible harm to it.

We rapidly clutter our planet, destroy entire populations of animals, and bring about ecological disasters. Fortunately, there are people who undertake activities to protect our environment.  Scientists and artists call for the protection of forests, coral reefs, and endangered animal and plant species.

Join their campaigns.  Let your works be a manifestation of support for the activities that save our environment.  Let them also be a tribute paid to colorful flowers, rustling trees, singing birds, wandering clouds…to all that surrounds us.  We are looking forward to your works.

We invite children of age from 5 to 20 to take part in our competition. Works of maximum 100 x 70 cm size and made by any techniques will be accepted. Work will be estimated into 4 age groups : From 5 to 8 years old, from 9 to 12 years old, from 13 to 15 years old, and from 16 to 20 years old.
