​

The 2025 World Children and Youth Christmas Coloring and Painting Competition drew to a successful close on [2025.12.26], evolving into a globally recognized stage where young art talents can showcase their brilliance. This distinguished event brought together passionate young painters from across the globe, challenging them to demonstrate their painting skills, creative imagination, and cross-cultural expression charm in a high-stakes art contest.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

The professional jury, consisting of renowned painters, 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: painting skills (including color matching, brush control, composition layout, and emotional delivery) and creative presentation (such as thematic depth, stylistic innovation, and cross-cultural relevance).

• Painting Skills: Evaluations focused on the contestants' command of complex painting techniques, such as stable application of color gradients in Christmas-themed scenes, precise control of brush strokes to depict delicate details (e.g., snowflakes, Christmas ornaments), and the ability to enhance work appeal through the integration of visual elements and emotional connotations.

• Creative Presentation: Standout entries included reinterpreting classic Christmas stories with modern coloring styles (e.g., adapting traditional Nativity scene paintings with pop art color schemes) or original Christmas-themed works (e.g., paintings exploring the warmth of family gatherings during Christmas, or the joy of children exchanging gifts).

• Cross-Cultural Relevance: Works that combined African tribal art patterns with Christmas element designs, or integrated Asian ink painting techniques into Christmas coloring creation, showcased exceptional cross-cultural art integration vision.
