ARTPEC: ACPEQ's contest for kids!

Hey kids, here’s your chance to show what you love to do with your ten fingers 🤲… or toes 👣! Texts, drawings, photos or other creative activities (cooking, carpentry, construction, snow castle and +😃): here’s a contest for you! 🌟

Take a picture of  📸 your text (1 page max.), your drawing, your photo (oops no need, it’s already a picture 😜), your cake, your Lego castle, your sparrow hut, your Meccano construction, etc. and participate in the contest by sending us your picture!

The ARTPEC Contest is open to the children of all ACPEQ members who register for the conference. To submit your children’s photos, you must be logged in to the Member’s Area and have paid for your access to the convention by choosing from the packages offered to members.

Your children can participate in the contest in the category of their choice:

  1. Photography
  2. Drawing/Painting
  3. Composition
  4. Creative activity

Feeling extra creative? Good for them! Each child can participate once in each category.

Before entering the contest, take a picture 📸 of your child’s text (1 page max), drawing, photo (oops no need, it’s already a photo 😜), cake, Lego castle, sparrow house, Meccano construction, etc. Then follow the steps below:

  1. Save the photo on your computer
  2. Go to the main page of the conference.
  3. Select the tab: “ARTPEC Contest” in the menu at the top of the page.
  4. Read the contest rules.
