Art from Youth Around the World!
Teaching our kids life lessons through art: That is the goal of the Annual Peace Pals International™ Art Contest. Peace Pals International™ and its affiliates May Peace Prevail on Earth International and the Goi Peace Foundation, are international not-for-profit charities that develop peace programs and activities for youth and communities.
Youth from around the World were invited to submit their artwork to the 6th Annual Peace Pals International Art Exhibition and Awards. The 2023 theme was “Unity and the Message: May Peace Prevail On Earth.” Youth were asked to give thought as to what Unity means to them.
This year, Peace Pals partnered with Unity Earth. Unity Earth is a global network on a mission to accelerate the realization of unity and peace on Earth. Inspired by the world’s wisdom traditions and born out of the desire to meet global-sized challenges with global-sized solutions, the network is built to amplify the reach and impact of peace-aligned organizations and individuals.
Peace Pals International received artwork from 76 countries and more than 4,500 young people, creating beautiful artwork filled with love and hope for a world filled with Unity. Every year, the winning artwork is displayed at the United Nations and goes on tour worldwide.
Congratulations to all the Winners and Finalists! See the Winning Artwork!
