The "Create Freely 2024 – YOUR Sports Experience!" art competition invited young participants to paint a personal sports experience, their favorite athlete, or their favorite sport. Through the awarded works, we witness the thrilling encounter between art and sports.
2024 is undoubtedly the year of sports, which serves as the inspiration for the competition: this year, sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the UEFA Europa League, and Formula 1 races. The hundreds of carefully crafted artworks and high-quality creations on display today highlight the strong connection between the love of sports and art among young people. Many of the competition’s participants practice a sport and have a favorite athlete or experience that brings them both the joy of physical activity and a means of self-expression.
The "Create Freely Foundation for Young Artists", which supports the artistic development of young talents, along with this year's partner, the "Via Civile Foundation", thanks its partners and supporters for their assistance in ensuring the success of this competition. The foundation will auction the original winning works, with the proceeds going towards purchasing educational materials for Hungarian kindergartens.
