Rated Intermediate, Global Canvas is an international wildlife art competition inviting original artwork about ecosystem engineers in any medium.

Editorial perspective
Our Take
Official minimum age is 4; the administrative numeric age field only accepts 5+, so minimum age is left blank and the verified 4–16 rule is stated explicitly here and in school level, summary and Fact Ledger. Age assessed at 16 February 2027 deadline. Free entry. No AI-generated artwork. Individual/group and age categories share the same core task; no evidence of a materially different difficulty model.
