Barbara Petchenik Children’s World Map Drawing Competition

The Barbara Petchenik Competition is a biennial map drawing competition for children. It was created by the International Cartographic Association in 1993 as a memorial for Barbara Petchenik, a past Vice president of the ICA and cartographer who had a lifelong interest in maps for children. The aim of the contest is to promote the creative representation of the world in graphic form by children.

The competition is organized every two years. In a national round in all participating ICA member countries, the national winners are selected, which are exhibited during the International Cartographic Conference, where the international winners are selected. The international winners can be seen below. To also see the national winners, please visit the Winner Map Collection at the Carleton University Library.

New publication: The world drawn by children. Maps from the Barbara Petchenik International Competitions 2017 & 2019

The National Geographic Institute of Spain has published the book “The World drawn by children. Barbara Petchenik International Competitions 2017 & 2019 / El mundo dibujado por los niños. Concursos Internacionales Barbara Petchenik 2017 y 2019” as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of its foundation.

This book has been created thanks to the valuable contribution of the ICA Commission on Cartography & Children and the remarkable cooperation of the Spanish Society for Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. However, above all, it could only come into fruition thanks to the wonderful drawings made by children competing in the 2017 and 2019 editions of the international competition. This competition is organised by the ICA and aims to promote creative representation of the world as seen by schoolchildren, to strengthen geographic and cartographic knowledge and to make participants aware of the world in which they live, favouring understanding and preservation.

The pdf-version of the book can be downloaded here (35mb).
