To celebrate the annual conference of the Luxembourg Centre for European Law “Is EU Law fit for Purpose?” (9–10 October 2026), the LCEL Library invites you to take part in an art contest exploring the evolving role, challenges and future of EU law.

Is EU law equipped to meet today´s realities and tomorrow uncertainties?
How do you interpret its purpose, limits, and potential?

This is your opportunity to express your vision through art!

For parents, teachers and schools – No prior knowledge of EU law is required.

This contest is about creativity, not legal expertise.
Children can explore the theme through questions they encounter in everyday life, such as:

  • What does fairness mean?
  • Why should everyone be treated equally?
  • How can we protect nature?
  • Why is privacy important online?
  • What makes people feel safe and respected?
  • How does Europe connect people?

Participants are encouraged to interpret the theme in their own way. There are no right or wrong answers, only original ideas expressed through art.

Submission Deadline

30 September 2026, 18:00

Why participate?

Selected artworks will be:

  • exhibited in the LCEL Library
  • featured in the LCEL Annual Report
