Diritti a Colori is a Network for the protection of children’s rights, created by Fondazione Malagutti onlus in order to promote children’s rights.
The aim is to protect children against any form of violence or oppression, involving people, organizations and institutions.
The goals: support the family, promote culture, encourage expression and creativity, art and beauty, and guarantee the harmonious growth of children.

With the network, in order to promote the rights of underage people through Art and Creativity, we organise:

– the INTERNATIONAL ILLUSTRATION COMPETITION, for professionals of illustration, with children’s rights at the core;

– the INTERNATIONAL FIGURATIVE ARTS EXHIBITION, for children and young people from 3 to 18 years-old.

ATTENTION: the deadline of the 8th International Illustration Competition has been extended to Thursday 31 October 2024 to also allow foreign illustrators with shipping difficulties due to ongoing war conflicts to participate.

We have added to the prizes a PRIZE AWARDED BY THE PUBLIC, which consists in a 7-day stay in a residence, hotel, farmhouse or bed and breakfast for 7 days, rental only (travel expenses and tourist taxes are excluded), in an Italian touristic location. We will award the prize to the artwork that will receive the majority of visitors’ votes during the the Final Exhibition (running from 20 November 2024 to 7 January 2025).

Attention: we have published the shortlist for the Final Award Ceremony of the Illustration Competition on November 16 at this link: https://www.dirittiacolori.com/it/2024/11/09/candidati-per-la-cerimonia-di-premiazione/

If we do not respect Children’s Rights, the trauma could affect other underage people, creating wounds that will be hard to heal.
Rights for all children Worldwide, inalienable rights, which need us, adults, in order to be respected.
Taking part in the “Diritti a Colori” Network means pursuing the same educational goal, rich in a myriad of nuances, which we can only offer through a healthy and fair society.
