Canvas 2026 Painting Competition, presented by Aster Superpower Project and organised by Tamquest Events, is a children's art competition taking place at GEMS Winchester School, Dubai. Scheduled for 14 November 2026, the event invites children aged 4 to 16 years from all schools and nationalities to showcase their creativity, imagination and artistic skills. The competition is presented by Aster Clinic & Pharmacy.
The painting competition features four age groups, each with designated themes. Group A (4–7 years) will participate in a Superpower Colouring activity using pre-drawn sheets provided at the venue. Group B (8–10 years), Group C (11–13 years) and Group D (14–16 years) will explore themes around superheroes, school life, learning, creativity and making the world a better place. GEMS Winchester School students will follow special themes celebrating 15 years of Winchester in the UAE, while participants from other schools will work on the respective general competition themes. Participants in Groups B, C and D can bring their own blank canvas and use their preferred art materials, including colour pencils, sketch pens, watercolours and oil paints.
The competition will run from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with seven registration slots available between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Each participant will have 60 minutes to complete their artwork. Participation is free, and registration is mandatory through the online registration form. Participants must arrive at least 30 minutes before their selected slot and bring a printed copy of their registration form. The top three participants in each group will receive prizes, with 10 runners-up recognised in each category. All participants will receive certificates of participation. Winners will be notified, and prize distribution details will be shared by email within one week after the competition. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 21 November 2026.
