The Victoria International Youth Painting Competition is a global platform for young artists aged 4 to 18. Through painting, participants are invited to explore their understanding of society, the planet, and the future they aspire to create. The competition celebrates the unique perspective of young people and positions their creativity at the centre of cultural and social dialogue.

We aim to nurture the artistic growth of young painters and provide them with opportunities to share their voice on an international stage. By encouraging genuine expression and critical observation, the competition helps young creators develop confidence, imagination, and visual storytelling skills that will support them throughout their creative journey.
