Introducing The Little Picassos, an international art competition open to young creators (from 5 to 16 years old). Any young artist from anywhere in the world is welcome to participate.
The competition will be juried by an international panel, organized by TERAVARNA Young Masters.
No entry fee. No theme restrictions. No creative boundaries.
Raw, unrestrained creativity to let the young wings fly in the open sky.
At the heart of The Little Picassos is one overarching conviction—that each child is an artist. This competition is for both beginners and advanced artists, from the age of discovering the crayon to the age of the teenager; they are all welcome just as they are. There is no "pressured" perfection, no prerequisites or experience required.
The only requirement? That the work is authentic and a man-made creation.
The Little Picassos allows the young artists to pursue whatever subject they choose, unlike other competitions where their art is limited to a specific theme or subject. Children can imagine and make anything they like—a dragon flying over mountains, a picture of themselves in neon, an imaginary city, a feeling, a memory, or a dream. It is an open theme, and it's not a coincidence. It encourages kids to explore the world they created and add their very own personal touch to the canvas.
All Mediums. All Styles. All are welcome.
The jury considers work in any visual medium submitted by young artists equally and offers no preference for any particular medium or style.
There is one hard rule: The artwork should not be AI-generated.
This competition is a tribute to the child's own creativity, hard work, and originality—and no machine can match it.
The deadline is July 20, 2026 with no extension. Don't let your little master miss his moment to shine.
