Junior Visions Prize 2027
Draw our Future!
Imagine a better world, a healthier planet, and a future where everyone can thrive.
The competition invites young people to imagine creative solutions to global challenges and express them through art. Whether their ideas involve robots protecting forests, animals restoring marine ecosystems, or entirely new inventions, participants are encouraged to explore what a better future could look like.
How does it work?
The Junior Visions Prize is a painting and drawing competition for students in grades 3–7 attending schools in Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, and Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
A jury will select ten finalists whose artwork will be shared online for public voting. Three winners will be chosen based on social-media engagement.
- Selected artwork will be exhibited at Curious2027 – Future Insight™.
- The winners may visit Heidelberg for a science-themed afternoon and an award presentation, accompanied by up to two family members or friends.
- Additional book prizes will be awarded by lottery.
Deadline: Januar 31, 2027
We look forward to discovering your ideas for the future!
