Museum of Recent History Celje invites all children aged 6 to 12 to co-create Herman’s Gallery. This collection is co-created by children from all over the world and is supplemented every year with works of art on a new theme. The title of this year’s call is »A LOOK BACK IN TIME«.
You can choose your favourite colouring media; pencils, colour pencils, watercolours, distempers, inks, collage or print. The paper shouldn’t be bigger than size A3 (300×420 mm). Don’t forget to glue the completed form with your personal data that you find on web page Herman’s Gallery on the reverse side of your art piece. Each child can contribute one piece of art.
The received artworks which will correspond to the topic and will be properly equipped with data form will be classified into two age groups:
6-9 years or 10-12 years.
The competition starts on 1 October 2024 and you have time to send your artwork on our address until 31 March 2025.
For each age group we will grant 10 awards and 50 specialrecognition awards, while every participant will also receive an electronic certificate attesting that they participated in the international competition. The results ofthe competition will be announced on 1 June 2025, and will be published on the website of the Museum of Recent History Celje. All mentors and parents will be informed about results by e-mail.
All awarded artworks will be exhibited in the Children’s Museum Herman’s Den. If your artwork will be awarded, we will notify you by e-mail. You will receive an electronic diploma, a gift with the motive of Herman the Fox, the mascot of the Children’s Museum “Herman’s Den”. We will add the winning artworks to the museum’s collection Herman’s Gallery; they will also be published on the website of the Museum of Recent History Celje.
If you receive a specialrecognition award, we will send you an electronic diploma with your name on it, which you will be able to print out.
