ISFAHAN INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S PAINTING COMPETITION (POOPAK) - 2023

Under the title Poopak, the Isfahan children’s painting competition was held nationally in 2019 and 2020 and its themes successfully captured their attention. Stepping into an international level in 2022, the competition aimed to evaluate children’s perception of the city and reinforce their sense of belonging and urban identity. In its fourth year, it is now open to children aged 4 to 18 years with the theme: “Jobs of My City”.

Summary

We all live in cities where people are busy with work. As we grow up, we must choose a job so that we can earn an income and meet our needs. Working and choosing the right job can bring us peace and fulfillment. As we walk the streets of our cities, take buses, or take the subway, we often see many shops and jobs. Now we want you to paint the jobs that people in your city have picked for themselves and are engaged to.
