Who is Your Cycladic Guardian?
How can your Guardian contribute to protecting the environment for future generations?
The 12th International Kids’ Art Contest organized by the Museum of Cycladic Art invites young artists aged 4 to 15 to step into the role of environmental protectors. With the theme “Guardians of the Cyclades,” this year’s competition aims to educate and inspire children about safeguarding the unique natural and cultural heritage of Greece’s Cyclades islands.
Running from March 12 to May 9, 2025, the contest will culminate in an exhibition of selected works on September 27 and 28, 2025, at the City of Athens Arts Center of the Municipality of Athens as part of the Museum of Cycladic Art’s 3rd Cycladic Kids Festival. This highly anticipated event will celebrate the creativity and vision of young artists from around the world while promoting awareness of environmental protection.
This year’s theme encourages children to design their own “Guardian of the Cyclades” — a creative figure with special abilities to protect the islands’ environment. Via bespoke educational content , participants will explore the fragile ecosystem of the Cyclades, the challenges it faces, and practical ways to promote sustainability in everyday life.
