The large-scale international competition "Zhitnoostrovskyi Pastels" in Slovakia attracted exceptional interest among young artists from different continents. A total of 2,237 artworks were presented by preschool-age children, demonstrating an incredible creative potential.
The prestigious jury selected 60 most outstanding young artists, whose works stood out with exceptional creativity and emotional depth. The exhibition was organized with utmost attention - specially printed canvases were mounted on wooden panels, and the entrance to the hall was solemnly decorated with flags of the participating countries.
Among the distinguished was Maria Shulga - a student of the Center for Personal Development Support in Burgas. Her work not only impressed the jury but also won one of the final awards, which is a significant recognition of her talent.
In addition to the official awards, participants received special gifts - toys, ceramic medals, and unique t-shirts decorated with their own drawings. The event convincingly proved that children's art represents much more than a simple game - it is a deep, emotional expression of a developing personality.
This international forum reinforces the belief that young artists carry the hope for a more beautiful and creative future, painted with the delicate strokes of children's pastels.
