Creativity Knows No Limits – 56th Raiffeisen Youth Competition
Our oceans and seas are fascinating – mysterious, powerful, and full of life. Under the motto “Discover the Sea”, the 56th Raiffeisen Youth Competition invited children and young people to explore this world through their own creativity.
From colourful underwater landscapes and imaginative sea creatures to powerful messages about protecting the oceans – the submitted artworks showed just how diverse, expressive, and moving young perspectives can be.
The competition is far more than a creative impulse: as an international project of cooperative banks, it is one of the largest youth competitions worldwide. Since 1970, more than 90 million contributions have been created – a strong sign of sustained creative encouragement and personal development.
The awards ceremony for the BG/BRG Judenburg took place in the bank, celebrating the young participants and their outstanding works. The event was marked by pride, joy, and appreciation – a special moment for students and everyone involved.
Once again, it becomes clear: when children and young people are given space to express their thoughts and ideas, not only impressive artworks are created – but also new ways of seeing the world.
