Eagerly awaited every year: the theme of Hahnemühle’s international calendar painting competition. For the year 2026, we want a ‘sporty and passionate calendar’, because the year 2026 will be sporty worldwide. Our painting competition is now open – join in!
Theme of the painting competition ‘Emotions & Passion!’
We want to celebrate the unwavering spirit, passion and unique emotions that sport evokes. This competition shows how sport connects people from all corners of the world and ignites the unstoppable passion of both athletes and fans. Entries should capture the will to win and the perseverance that defines true champions and drives them to excel.
Take part and bring intense moments in powerful works of art to life – from victories and decisive moments to the vibrant atmosphere of major sporting events. The impressive architecture of modern sports venues and the diversity of nations surrounding international events also offer exciting ideas for a motif. Stadiums become cultural landmarks and merge sport, design and culture into something unique. Cities and landscapes that host major sporting events – such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup – provide an incredible source of inspiration for focussing on the international nature of sport and the diversity of the participating countries.
Join us and let us experience your vision of unstoppable emotion and passion in sport!
