Puglia launches 'Culture of Giving' art contest

The Puglia Region, together with the Regional School Office and the Regional Transplant Center, has launched an art contest to produce images for the 2026/2027 regional school calendar. The chosen theme is "The Culture of Giving and the gift of life", aiming to promote the values of solidarity, generosity and active citizenship among students.

Framed as both an educational initiative and an artistic competition, the contest encourages young people to reflect on organ and tissue donation and on the possibility to express consent when turning 18 or renewing the Electronic Identity Card (CIE).

• Who can participate: students from all schools in Puglia, individually or in groups.
• Work requirements: original artwork accompanied by a title or slogan; creativity, thematic coherence and communicative impact.
• How to submit: entries must be sent via the online form including participant data, the image and title/slogan.
• Deadline: submissions by 12:00 PM on 15 May 2026.

A commission appointed by the Puglia Region will evaluate the entries; selected works will be used for the regional school calendar distributed to schools across the region. Awards and a prize-giving ceremony are planned.
