Golden Bear Award was inspired by a childhood memory of its founder. As a young boy who loved drawing, he filled the margins of his textbooks with sketches of the world. In school, stages were often reserved for children who could sing, dance, or play instruments, while his drawings quietly hung on classroom walls, seen by few and celebrated by none.

That quiet neglect left a lasting impression. Years later, it became the seed for the Golden Bear Award.

Golden Bear Award is more than a competition. It is an international platform where young creators can truly be seen, understood, and valued. Every drawing is more than just lines and colors; it is a voice, a story, and an emotional expression. Every mark reflects a child’s way of engaging with the world.

The founder believes that art gives children genuine self-recognition and the courage to explore who they are. Golden Bear Award was founded with the hope that, through art, every child, no matter their nationality, background, or language, can shine proudly in their own light.
