What is the “World Environment Day” Drawing Contest? 

WED Contest is a yearly contest open to children and teens. Learners are invited to create their art pieces for the chance to have them featured on contest.diproinduca.com and win some great Prizes for their continuous learning journey.

Why is Diproinduca doing this Contest?

We proudly believe it’s our responsibility to provide the next generations with the opportunities to stand on our shoulders and become better than us in their journey through the planet. Our drawing Contest is an opportunity for the youngest generations to display their own Artwork on contest.diproinduca.com.

You can rotate and crop your image once you upload it to your profile, and you can approve how your profile will look before sending it definitively.

Any recommendations regarding the title of the drawing?

Why English and Spanish?
Because these are our roots, we come from a medley of Latin American and English-speaking countries. We are proud to offer this event in the countries where we operate and in countries of the continent where English or Spanish is spoken.
We have a team that is capable of communicating in both languages. In any of our media and social networks, we can respond ably to your comments in either English or Spanish.

Do you translate everything?
We dedicate a large part of our efforts to bring you a completely bilingual event, which means that we must translate the material we produce and the comments of judges and participants. We assure you that we will try as much as possible to meet the expectations of everyone who interacts with this event.

When does the Contest close?
The deadline to upload your drawing is August 1st at 11:59pm EST. Without exception, drawings will not be accepted after this time.

What if a power shutdown occurs or the internet connection fails?
We recommend that you be prepared to overcome these problems if these events are possible or can be foreseen. Without exception, drawings will not be accepted after the date and time stipulated on the contest website.

Can I submit an artwork that I made for another event?
No. The drawing with which you participate in this drawing contest cannot be one that you have submitted for another project or has participated in another contest.
Helping participants
During the drawing activity, children should not receive help from parents, guardians, or third parties, except in the case of participants in the Seeds category, who need to be assisted in performing their drawing as independently as possible. The best way to help is by talking with them about the topic, encouraging them to read the blog of material in order to enhance their creativity.
