It is with great joy and excitement that the Centre of Visual Arts & Research (CVAR) announces the results of the 5th Pan-Cyprian Visual Arts Competition 2025–26, titled “Queens of Cyprus.”
The competition was a great success, attracting a particularly large number of entries from schools and students across Cyprus and Greece. We are deeply grateful and moved by the interest and creativity shown in the children’s projects, as well as by the invaluable support of the teachers who actively participated in the process.
The response exceeded all expectations, and the judging panel decided, due to the large number of entries, to award, in addition to the First, Second, and Third Prizes, four additional honorable mentions per category.
Warm thanks to all the children, teachers, and schools that embraced the competition.
