We are excited to invite you to take part in our Youth Art Competition 2025, with the theme:

🎨 HOME 🎨

Show us what you love about your home — it can be anything you love, feel, or dream about when you think of home – your family, your community, your country etc.

The winning design will be printed as a bookmark and sent out in our winter fundraising mailing at the end of the year.

This competition is open to all young people connected to DSW, YSW, or A4HU through youth clubs or youth empowerment centres etc.

We’re looking for handmade, flat, original artwork on A4 paper. We welcome any creative technique — as long as it’s on paper, flat, and can be sent safely by post. Please take a good quality photograph (maxminum size 15MB) of your artwork and upload it via the form below.

🥇 1st place will recieve 50 EUR
🥈 2nd–5th places will recieve 30 EUR each

Important: Please do not bend or throw away your original artwork — if you win, we will ask you to send the original artwork to Germany, with the help of our local office or partner (we will cover the costs). Prize money will only be awarded when the original artwork is received at our head office in Germany.
