The 2025 competition may be over, but you can still revisit all of its resources and make your own creatures for fun – a great activity for families and educators!
2025 Theme: Mythical Monsters​
Ahoy, Argonauts! Are you ready to join Jason and his crew on the hunt for the Golden Fleece? Be ready, because lots of dangers lie along the way — you could encounter horrendous Harpies, foul Dragons, fire-breathing bulls or deadly Sirens!

The Hellenic Museum needs your help to capture these mythical monsters – using the power of art! Painting, drawing, collage, photography… choose any visual medium you like to show your interpretation of the theme, mythical monsters.​​​
