Sister Cities International is proud to present the 2026 Young Artists and Authors Showcase, inviting youth from around the world to express their creativity through the theme “Voices of Today, Visions of Tomorrow.”

This year’s theme encourages youth to reflect on a historical moment: as the United States celebrates 250 years and Sister Cities International marks 70 years of building global friendships and cultural understanding.

By participating in this inspiring competition, young creators will have the opportunity to share their vision of a peaceful world. Through art, music and creative creating, students will share their perspectives, hopes and creativity and show how today’s voices can help shape a more peaceful and interconnected world.
