"My Dream of Turkey" Children's Drawing Contest

Aimed at fostering children’s imagination and artistic skills, the “My Dream of Turkey” Children’s Art Contest invites children aged 6–10 living in Germany to express their dreams, feelings, and impressions of Turkey through their artwork. The goal is for children to strengthen their cultural ties and depict Turkey through their own eyes using artwork created during the summer vacation.

Deadline: September 15, 2026
Who Can Participate? All children
aged 6–10. Technique: Free choice (pencil, pastel, watercolor, etc.); Format: max. A3
. All participants will receive small gifts and a certificate of appreciation!

Following the “Design a Coffee Cup,” “Rap Contest,” and “2025 Family-Themed Design Contest” we organized in previous years as the Yunus Emre Institute in Cologne, we are now inviting our children to reflect their dreams of Turkey in their artwork.

Whether it’s a fun vacation spent in Turkey, unforgettable summer memories shared with your family, or a vision of Turkey you dream of for the future—children aged 6–10 can participate in our contest by freely illustrating their dreams, memories, and feelings about Turkey.

Note: What matters isn’t perfect technique, but the child’s imagination and ability to express themselves! Children under 6 years old are also welcome to share their artwork with us.
