SUMMARY:🎨 Painting Contest 2026 – Life on Land | Ages 6–14
DESCRIPTION:Dear TACAM Families and Community Members\, \nTACAM is pleased to share an exciting Painting Contest for children ages 6–14\, organized in honor of April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children’s Day and UNESCO World Art Day 2026. \nThis national contest invites young artists to explore the theme “Life on Land”\, inspired by Atatürk’s vision of peace\, nature\, and sustainability\, and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 15. \nThe contest aims to bring Atatürk’s words emphasizing peace\, equality and a future in harmony with nature into the present day to raise awareness about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 15: “Life on Land”.  \nAtatürk’s immortalized statement such as “Peace at Home\, Peace in the World”\, “Protecting nature is protecting the future”\, “Tomorrow’s nature is created today”\, “Trees\, flowers and greenery mean civilization” will be reinterpreted through the creativity of young artists . \nThis contest encourages children to reflect on the importance of the terrestrial ecosystem\,the protection of natural resources\, and the support of sustainable environmental policies\, and to express these ideas through art. For this reason \, the contest is not only an artistic activity but also a global call for a sustainable future. \n“Atatürk saw peace as the foundation of everything.
