The Second International Drawing Competition “Along the Paths of Ivan Marchuk”
On the occasion of the 90th birthday of the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, the Second International Drawing Competition “Along the Paths of Ivan Marchuk” is taking place in Vienna under the theme “Eternity Woven with Dreams”.
Ivan Marchuk is one of the most celebrated Ukrainian artists of our time — People’s Artist of Ukraine, recipient of the Taras Shevchenko National Prize, holder of the Order of Freedom, and awarded the title “National Legend of Ukraine”. In 2007, The Daily Telegraph included him in its list of the “100 Living Geniuses.” His unique artistic technique known as “Pliontanism” became internationally recognized.
The competition aims to support talented children and young people, encourage international cultural exchange, and promote Ukrainian art globally. It also seeks to foster a new generation of cultural ambassadors of Ukraine through art and cultural diplomacy.
The jury members were joined by the Director of our Bureau and Ukraine Office Austria Andreas Wenninger.
The award ceremony will take place in June 2026.
