For all pupils from the 7th grade onwards* at all schools in Oberhausen.
*Of course, art clubs and other creative groups are also welcome to participate!

The current competition is running under the motto: Bring your book heroes and heroines to the streets!

Create a design together based on the characters, stories, and adventures that shaped your childhood. The winning design will be printed as a decal and applied to one of our buses, which will then tour Oberhausen. The design should be developed as a collaborative class project (no individual submissions). It can be drawn by hand on a coloring sheet or digitally. The design should not be too intricate or detailed, as it will be printed and applied on special foil. Designs containing political, religious, or ideological symbols, or product advertising, will not be considered! Please submit only one design per class/club! Note: The jury requires a written explanation of the idea behind the design for better understanding.
