This painting competition is open to students up to 14 years old.
The United Nations Environment Programme Regional Office for North America (UNEP RONA) and its partner Bayer Corporation invite students to pick up their crayons, colored pencils and paint brushes and create original artworks for the 22nd annual International Children's Painting Competition (ICPC) on the environment.
This year’s theme is: "Water: Where Does It Come From?"
This competition provides you the opportunity to have your artwork displayed in a public exhibition, to win prizes and to become the North American environmental ambassador at the United Nations' global TUNZA youth conference next year.
The ICPC invites elementary and middle school students aged six to 14 from the United States and Canada to explore their views on water as the source for all life. As they create their pictures, students should consider the responsibility we all share to ensure a healthy, secure and sustainable water supply for our communities, environment and economy. After all, without water there would be no life on Earth – plant, animal or human.
The free-style artwork must be submitted on letter or legal-size paper and can be created using crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, oils, etc. Individual students may submit more than one artwork. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2013. Submissions must be received by that date.
