Voice for Palestine to Hold Children’s Art Competition
The competition seeks to nurture awareness among young minds about the struggles faced by Palestinians by encouraging them to express solidarity through art
The Voice for Palestine advocacy group is organizing a children’s art competition aimed at raising awareness about the plight of Palestinians.
The competition, which will take place during the forthcoming holy month of Ramadhan, seeks to nurture awareness among young minds about the struggles faced by Palestinians by encouraging them to express solidarity through art.
The initiative will provide children with a creative platform to raise their voices, foster compassion, and develop a strong sense of social responsibility. Through creativity and imagination, participants will produce artwork depicting humanitarian efforts to support the people of Gaza, who have borne the brunt of the ongoing genocide, while also paying tribute to their courage and resilience.
In addition, the competition will highlight the global boycott campaign against Israel and feature the Al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam—which has been under Israeli occupation for nearly six decades.
“A creative and educational art competition to inspire our children to learn, reflect, and stand for justice through art,” the advocacy group said in a statement.
The competition is open to children aged between four and ten years, with prizes set to be awarded to participating artists. Participation is open to schools, madrasas, and mosques across the country.
Interested participants have been urged to register by February 10 through an online registration form through the following link, https://forms.gle/boQ3VbuKLRF3Kj7v7
