This year marks the 70th anniversary of the atomic bomb, which fell on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. We invite children around the world to send their artwork with their written messages of peace to the children and people of Hiroshima.  We plan to organize a Peace Pals Art Exhibition in Hiroshima to exhibit the artwork and peace messages of winners and finalists.  The anniversary is on August 6th. 

Paint or draw your artwork to express your Love to Hiroshima and its people.

Optional write a Message (1000 characters) that expresses your Love to Hiroshima and its people.
 

Think about the people and children of Hiroshima and what life must have been like during the dropping of the atomic bomb and after, and then create your special artwork that sends your Love to Hiroshima. 

Your artwork MUST include the message, "May Peace Prevail On Earth" in English and/or your Native Language. 

Children must do all art, including the writing of May Peace Prevail On Earth. 

Children are also invited to use Japanese in their artwork. Please see the rules page for a sample of Japanese.  Children must include a special letter expressing their "Love to Hiroshima and its people."
