Thousands of drawings, paintings and collages by children from UNESCO World Heritage cities — a travelling exhibition collecting stories about their own world since 1995.
The competition was born to celebrate the inscription of the historic town of Banská Štiavnica and the technical monuments in its vicinity on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993. Every year an average of 2,000 works arrive from around the world — the jury selects the best across three age categories and awards honourable mentions.

Children see the world differently — and that is exactly what we want to remember. They paint not only places, but also how those places are lived in, breathed and dreamed.From the exhibition catalogue, Banská Štiavnica
Big thank you for all the submitted artworks for the 2026 edition of the contest. The jury had a really hard work to choose the best artworks in all categories. We are happy to invite you to the exhibition opening that is to take place on 22 June 2026 at 10:30 am in Banská Štiavnica (outside the Townhall, Radničné Square 1). We are looking forward to meeting you and celebrating the 31st anniversary of the contest.
