Colors: A Creative Contest for Schools That Celebrates Solidarity. Thoughts and Colors is an educational project for schools that invites children to express, through drawing, an idea of solidarity, happiness, or collaboration. It\u2019s an opportunity to turn a drawing into a message and transform children\u2019s creativity into a gesture of solidarity. \u00a0 The selected drawings will feature on the official POBIC 2026 T-shirt, turning creativity into a tangible symbol of social commitment. How the Contest Works The \u201cThoughts and Colors\u201d contest is a creative contest for schools, open to classes that decide to participate through their school. In summary: children create a drawing on the theme of solidarity; the entries are submitted to POBIC according to the procedures outlined in the rules; the drawings are published on POBIC\u2019s official channels; and online voting begins. Each drawing is signed by the artist and is recognizable, precisely because it is intended to be shared and voted on. The online voting phase: how it works and why it\u2019s so important. Starting March 16, 2026, the online voting phase of the \u201cPensieri e Colori\u201d contest will officially begin. Starting on that date, a page dedicated to voter registration will be active: once registered, users will be redirected to a Facebook group dedicated to the contest, created specifically to host the voting. Within the group, users will be able to: view all the drawings in the contest; find the entries organized by participating classes and schools; and cast their vote in a simple and transparent way. Voting will remain open until May 10, 2026. A vote that counts double: involving families and friends The voting phase is one of the most significant moments of the project, because it transforms the contest into a collective and shared experience. Parents, family members, friends, and acquaintances are invited to participate actively: by voting on the drawings, sharing the project, and supporting the message of solidarity expressed by the children. Every vote is a concrete gesture of support for creativity, the school\u2019s educational commitment, and the values that \u201cPensieri e Colori\u201d aims to convey. Participating in the voting means valuing the children\u2019s work and amplifying the message they have chosen to share. What Happens After Voting? At the end of online voting on May 10, 2026, the three drawings with the most votes from each school will advance to the next phase of the contest, moving closer to the final selection and the awards ceremony. Voting is therefore not just a technical step, but a key moment that can make all the difference. From Voting to the Final Awards Ceremony The best entries will be: collected in their original form and displayed during the POBIC National Festival; evaluated by a selected jury. The winning design will be printed on the official POBIC 2026 T-shirt. The school of the winning class will also receive a donation of 1,000 euros, to be used at its discretion for educational projects. Cast your vote starting March 16, 2026.
