Winners & Finalists of Peace Pals International Art Exhibition and Awards
November 22, 2025
Celebrating Young Artists, the Theme of Freedom, and the Global Peace Pole Day Activation
We are filled with immense gratitude and joy as we announce the Winners and Finalists of the 2025 Peace Pals International Art Exhibition & Awards.
This year’s theme — FREEDOM — inspired extraordinary creativity from young artists around the world. Children ages 5 through 16, representing four age categories, poured their hearts into artwork that spoke of hope, dignity, justice, and the universal desire to live free.
Their expressions moved us deeply.
From powerful drawings of unity, to vibrant colors symbolizing resilience, to gentle visions of a peaceful future — every piece reminded us that the wisdom of children continues to guide humanity toward peace.
🌟 Winners & Finalists Announced on Global Peace Pole Day
We were honored to announce all Winners and Finalists during our 2025 Global Peace Pole Day Celebration, held on November 22nd in honor of the 109th Birthday of Masahisa Goi, the author of the universal message and prayer May Peace Prevail On Earth.

🎨 A Record Year of Creativity, Heart, and Global Connection
We received well over 4,000 entries from children and youth across the globe.
Each piece was unique. Each voice mattered.
And each child uplifted the world simply by participating.
Whether a child was named a winner, a finalist, or simply expressed themselves through art, their creativity added more light, more love, and more peace to our world.
If your child was not selected this year, please know how sincerely we appreciated their artwork. We hope to see them again in 2026 — their ideas and imagination are needed, welcomed, and cherished.
