2. IOC 2000 World Children’s Art Competition
In 2000, the CTOC conducted the IOC 2000 World Children’s Art
Competition at national level in order to select quality artworks to
participate in the international competition. In this event, 30 pieces
of artworks created by our children were delivered to IOC for
competition. At international level, the artworks from CTOC won
the first prize, and one diploma for the age group of 6 – 8, while
two participants at the age groups of 9 – 11 and 12 – 16 won
diplomas at respective age group, making a total of six winners
from our country in this competition.
3. IOC 2004 Art and Sport Contest
Being aware of the prestigious creativity of young generation in
Taiwan, the CTOC organized the IOC 2004 Art and Sport Contest
at national level when receiving the information on the Contest
sent by IOC Olympic Education and Culture Commission. The
National Contest was held in 2003. When the information was
released, the CTOC received hundreds of quality artworks, 65
pieces in graphic design and 14 pieces sculpture that the jury felt
difficult to select yet finally the shortlist came out after very rigid
evaluation and selection. According to the IOC, the first prize of
both graphic design and sculpture at national level shall be
delivered to Olympic Museum upon receipt of instruction from the
IOC. The two pieces of artworks have been collected and shipped
to Lausanne, Switzerland for international competition. It is our
hope that our young artists will mark their own records in this very
art and sport competition.
Olympism connotes not only sport but also culture. Through sport,
the aesthetics in culture presents its vigour and dynamics. Realizing
the essence of Olympism, the CTOC, as an independent and national
entity, will devote itself to promoting and diffusing Olympism in
different forms to help the general public and young generation learn
in-depth the multifarious implications of Olympism.
