​

The 2026 World Youth Art Competition drew to a successful close on [2026.01.23], evolving into a globally recognized stage where young art talents can showcase their brilliance. This distinguished event brought together passionate young artists from across the globe, challenging them to demonstrate their artistic creation skills, artistic interpretation creativity, and cross-cultural expression charm in a high-stakes art contest.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

The professional jury, consisting of renowned artists, art professors, and industry experts, adhered to the principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency throughout multiple evaluation rounds. Judges assessed the entries based on two core dimensions: artistic creation skills (including technique mastery, expression control, stylistic accuracy, and emotional delivery) and artistic creative presentation (such as thematic depth, stylistic innovation, and cross-cultural relevance).

​

• Artistic Creation Skills：Evaluations focused on the contestants' command of complex artistic techniques, such as stable presentation of high-difficulty creative expressions and stylistic variations, precise control of artistic rhythm and emotional transitions, and the ability to enhance artistic appeal through the integration of technical sensitivity and emotional expression.

• Artistic Creative Presentation：Standout entries included reinterpreting classic art works with modern creative styles (e.g., adapting classic paintings with digital art elements) or original art works (e.g., creations exploring youth growth, the beauty of nature, or the power of friendship).

• Cross-Cultural Relevance：Works that combined African traditional artistic patterns with Western classical art structures, or integrated Asian folk art elements into modern art creation, showcased exceptional cross-cultural art integration vision.
