Dear ,

The ArtBeat Digital National Art Competition is a Digital Only competition of child art with a focus on participatory approach for children and youth.

Its vision is to promote visual culture, understanding of issues among children and youth from their own perspective and present children’s view as a point of discourse to the community. It celebrates children and youth as artists.

The artworks will be preserved on Google Cultural Institute, and submissions are open for under 18 children.

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 artists from New Zealand and International 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.

Diversity is composed of differing elements or qualities, which makes us unique. Just see how many colors, kinds of birds and animals, toys and buildings and languages we have around us. Understanding and celebrating diversity promotes coexistence, inclusion and social cohesion, ensuring people feel welcome through our behaviours and social norms.

We invite you to explore diversity and inclusion in your own unique ways through the following topics, and express through artworks;

Cultural | Natural | Colors | Languages | Gender | Religion | Ethnic

Young artists are encouraged to think and paint unconventional ideas, using colors which are unusual and unique.
