Arts Competition

The Globeducate Arts Competition is an annual international event that brings together young artists from Globeducate schools worldwide to showcase their creative talents. Open to students aged 5 to 18 across all our schools globally at a local level, with final submissions made virtually, this competition spans multiple artistic disciplines, including visual arts, photography, and performing arts.

Each year, the competition adopts a unique theme aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging students to explore important global issues through their creative work. The Arts Competition not only enhances students' artistic skills but also fosters critical thinking, creativity, and empathy—skills essential for success in the modern world.

"Arts are a powerful medium for expressing ideas and emotions. This competition not only showcases our students’ incredible talents but also highlights important global issues. I encourage every student to participate and let their creativity flow. Remember, every piece of art has the potential to inspire and make a difference"

Monica Fontán, Director of Education at Globeducate

The competition is divided into four age groups—Lower Primary (5-7), Upper Primary (8-10), Middle School (11-14), and High School (15-18)—ensuring that students can participate in categories suited to their skills and interests. Each Globeducate school holds a preliminary competition, launched before the summer holidays, and submits winning entries to the global competition in November. This process not only ensures a high standard of entries but also encourages school communities to come together and celebrate their students’ achievements and talents.

Winners receive professionally printed poster-sized versions of their artwork or writing, and schools display posters featuring all the winning entries, celebrating the achievements of their students.

"It was a lovely surprise to see Dalya receive an honorary mention from the jury. We were so impressed by her creativity and imagination throughout the project. All ICS students from PY2 to PY6 voted for their favourite entries, and it was wonderful to see how thoughtfully they took the time to look at each artwork before casting their votes. They truly take the process seriously!
