The Chassidus in Color Art Contest has teamed up with Tzivos Hashem to launch a special art competition for young artists—with two tracks giving artists aged 7-10 and 11-14 their own shot at hefty prizes. Chayolim have until Lag B’Omer to submit their Geulah-themed art through Tzivos Hashem’s website, using their parent’s account.
This is chayolim’s chance to have their artwork reviewed by judges Yitzchok Moully, Moshe Katz, and Miriam Rappoport, and ten top winners can win up to $400 in sefarim, scooters, helicopters, headphones, or other prizes of their choice.
Chassidus in Color invites chayolim to use any medium (except AI and photography) to produce any art-form. Whether artists make it digitally, with graphite, watercolor, or acrylic paint, their art will be evaluated for its ability to express an idea in Chassidus about Geulah—in addition to its artistic merit.
Reb Hillel Particher once said, “A talent is asur to waste.” And as Rabbi Menachem Meltzer, the contest’s director says, “If your child has a talent for art, this is a chance to challenge them to use their talent to create beautiful art that expresses a Jewish message and brings the Geulah to life.”
Submissions are now open until Lag B’Omer.
Submit art online through your Tzivos Hashem account at mashpia.com. For more information, please text 203-687-6436 or email [email protected].
Rules and Guidelines:
- Submit any medium of artwork. Suggested media include charcoal, acrylic, graphite, pastel, paint, watercolor, & digital etc. Please do not submit AI art or photography.
- All work must be original, created for this contest.
- Your piece must portray a specific point from the teachings of Chassidus on a topic relating to Geula.

- Your idea may be from any of the Chabad Rabbeim or the Baal Shemtov.
