Mid-Autumn Festival Creative Painting Competition

2026中秋節創意繪畫比賽

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals, symbolizing reunion, gratitude, and cultural heritage. The joy culture Foundation hopes to encourage children to understand Mid-Autumn culture through painting, while unleashing their creativity and artistic expression. This competition aims to turn culture into beautiful, lasting memories rather than just a lesson.

​

中秋節是華人最重要的傳統節日之一,象徵團圓、感恩與文化傳承。凱芯文教基金會希望透過繪畫,鼓勵孩子認識中秋文化,同時發揮創意與藝術表達能力,讓文化不只是學習,更能成為孩子心中的美好回憶。
