Discover the Artistic Expressions of Young Minds

The JQA Global Children's Art Contest Exhibition is set to take place at the JICA Global Plaza in Tokyo from September 2 to September 15, 2026. This exceptional event, jointly organized by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) and the International Certification Network (IQNET), promises to showcase the winning pieces from the 26th edition of this global competition.

Exhibition Highlights

During the final judging session on July 7, 38 outstanding artwork pieces were selected from entries submitted by children around the world. The exhibition will be displayed on the second floor of the JICA Global Plaza, offering visitors a first look at these inspiring creations. Every artwork reflects children's deep observations of nature and wildlife, infused with their heartfelt messages about the environment.

The JICA Global Plaza is not only a venue for this exhibition but also an educational hub where visitors can engage with global issues and connect with developing countries. The plaza features an interactive experience zone where attendees can see, hear, and touch various exhibits, enhancing their understanding of the world. Additionally, J's Cafe offers dishes from developing nations, allowing visitors to indulge in a taste of international cuisine.

We encourage everyone to visit and immerse themselves in the creative expressions of young artists while gaining insights into international cooperation and our shared responsibility towards the Earth's welfare.
