How it works

Three simple steps

Pick a work, read the child’s story and cast your vote — it takes a minute.

  1. Choose a work

    Open the gallery and find a drawing that speaks to you.

  2. Read the story

    Every child has a story, favourite activities and a fundraising goal.

  3. Cast your vote

    A short WhatsApp or Telegram check keeps the contest honest.

Contest

Choose a work and support a child

Read the young artist’s story and cast your vote — it takes a moment, and means so much to the child.

Why vote

Why your vote matters

Children with developmental differences rarely hear “you did it.” A contest vote is simple, honest support.

01

Motivation to create

When a child sees votes growing for their work, they return to pencils and clay more willingly — that is part of therapy.

02

Real support

Every honest vote is a warm “we see you” for a child. That attention helps them believe their work truly matters.

03

Support for families

Parents see that the world cares. That eases loneliness and gives strength to keep practising with their child.

“When a child draws, they are not just making a picture. They are telling the world: I am here, and I have a voice. Your vote answers: we hear you.”
— the ArtKids team
