KIDS CONTEST

I am… How I see myself

Starting with a mirror, this year’s seventh annual drawing contest invites our young friends to introduce themselves

Titled “I am… How I see myself”, this year’s seventh annual drawing contest invites our young friends to present themselves to the world as they see themselves, starting with a mirror.

After last year’s hugely successful contest with 23,000 participants, the Museum of Cycladic Art once again invites children aged 4-15 years (preschool, grade school, and junior high school) to take inspiration from a Cypriot bronze mirror dating to 1200-1050 BC and displayed on the Museum’s third floor Cyprus – Ancient Art and Culture section.

For this competition, the Museum of Cycladic Art will collaborate for the first time with the Athens Conservatoire, which will host the exhibition of children’s works in May, and with the International Kalamata Dance Festival: participants from Kalamata will also show their work at the Kalamata Dance Megaron in July, as part of the 26th International Kalamata Dance Festival’s events!

Make sure we receive your submission from 25/10/2019 to 28/02/2020 and you could be one of the artists participating in the Museum’s next exhibition, which will be hosted by the Athens Conservatoire!

The winners will receive a Cycladic Art Box!
