The Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME) invites children from between 6 and 14 years of age to participate in this year’s children’s drawing contest: "Let's Paint Mexico’s Traditions and Music Together.” The contest is coordinated through all of Mexico’s consulates and embassies, and by the Foreign Ministry’s delegations in Mexico. For the first time, the contest has been designed to encourage teamwork amongst the participants.
The contest invites children to draw the landscapes, stories, characters, customs and images brought to mind by the songs they hear about Mexico and the Mexican traditions with which they are familiar.
The contest seeks to encourage the participants to engage in teamwork and cooperation in order to put their ideas on paper.
