Dear ,

The ArtBeat Digital National Art Competition is a Digital Only competition with a focus on participatory approach for children and youth to take part in the activities and share their views on COVID-19 through art making.

The artworks will be preserved on Google Cultural Institute, and submissions are open to under 10 children and under 25 youth. 

You can make Painting, Drawing and/or Digital Art and submit online for digital showcase. 

Children will be represented as artists, along with their schools in the exhibition. Participating children will also be invited to speacial online sessions with the distinguished artists and jury members. 

With a shared vision, ArtBeat is supported by the Qatari and International Artists as Jury. This group of artists are advising on the project, and will be looking at all the artworks submitted. The winners and final exhibition will be curated by the Jury as well.

The COVID- 19 Pandemic has affected our lives in unimaginable ways. With social distancing and isolation being the only known way of stemming the spread, it is expected to affect children and youth more than others due to their innate energy and curiosity.

It is important to know what their fears and hopes are? How do they want to see their future and the future of the world?

To provide an opportunity to creatively express their thoughts and imagination, we are inviting children and youth to express their ideas, fear & hopes and thoughts through different creative expressions, by participating in the ArtBeat Digital – National Child Art Competition Qatar and submitting their artworks online.
