Kao International Environment Painting Contest for Children

The Eleventh Kao International Painting Contest for Children is now open for entries. Kao conducts the Kao International Painting Contest every year since its launch in 2010 as part of its environmental initiatives. Kao invites children to create works that express the small steps they can take every day, their dreams, and hopes for an eco-friendly world.
This contest aims to encourage children around the world to think seriously about conservation of the environment around them and of the earth, as well as about the earth's future, and express their thoughts in paintings, which will also hopefully encourage people around the world to take action in their daily life to preserve the environment.

Theme: "Together, we are eco-friendly"
Please think about what we can do to protect our precious global environment and pass it on to future generations, and express your thoughts freely in your entry
