IDW Classroom Art Contest 2027
Every classroom has a story to share. What's yours?
Invite your students to explore the land around them, the stories it holds and the ways we care for the places we share.
For International Development Week 2027, SCIC invites K-12 classrooms across Saskatchewan to turn these connections into a collaborative artwork celebrating creativity, community, and our shared environment.
Submit your classroom's entry by January 15, 2027 | 4:00 PM CST.
A Shared Classroom Story
Each student creates an artwork inspired by "Our Land, Our Stories." Together, these individual pieces become one collaborative classroom display.
Students can explore local landscapes, wildlife, personal connections to place, and what it means to care for the land and one another. The activity connects with Saskatchewan Treaty Education, environmental science, and social studies, while encouraging reflections on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Keep it simple with a short classroom activity or build it into a longer inquiry project. When your display is complete, submit one photograph and a classroom reflection of up to 250 words.
The invitation includes teaching prompts, cultural safety guidance and full submission instructions to help you get started.
1. Create with what you have
