The 2026 FLOW Award winners have been announced
This year, the FLOW team received 2,087 entries from 2,235 young artists from 26 countries around the world. That is around 500 more than last year.
Of the 1,091 entries from Germany, 279 came from Schwedt/Oder alone and 359 from the Uckermark district.
It is also pleasing to see a strong turnout once again in the ‘Digital Art’ category, which features 42 entries. Visitors to the annual exhibition can also look forward to works from South Africa, South Korea and the Netherlands. All three countries are represented for the first time. This year’s annual exhibition of the FLOW International Drawing Competition opens its doors on 25 August 2026 at 3 pm at the Uckermärkische Bühnen. All residents of Schwedt and visitors are warmly invited.
However, the winners will not be officially announced until the opening of the annual exhibition on 25 August. All the winners will then be listed on our website: www.flow-zeichenwettbewerb.de

The FLOW International Drawing Competition, based in Schwedt/Oder, is one of the most important and oldest drawing competitions in Germany.
