We are pleased to announce that the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków — as in previous years — is also in 2025 a co-organiser of the nationwide art competition for children, young people and families Magic of Flight. This year’s edition is held under the theme “Wings of Hope” — the finalists will be announced in autumn, but we already invite you to the opening of the post-competition exhibition, which will take place in the Main Hangar.

We invite children, young people and entire families to join in creative fun! This year’s edition combines the worlds of literature, art and imagination, and the leading theme “Wings of Hope” opens wide possibilities for artistic expression.

Why is it worth taking part?

  • it is a great opportunity for shared family activity,
  • the competition supports the development of literary and artistic passions,
  • it encourages reading and creating together,
  • it provides a space to showcase talent to a wide audience.

Let your imagination soar high — on the wings of hope!

Who can take part?

We invite:

  • family teams: children together with parents, grandparents or siblings,
  • school and neighbourhood groups (up to 5 people).


This is an excellent opportunity to create something beautiful, inspiring and full of emotion together — at home or at school.

Work topic

Participants are tasked with creating an artwork inspired by any literary work. The subject can be any form of flight — from a fairy-tale balloon journey, through a poetic flight of a bird, to a futuristic airship or the wings of imagination. What counts is the idea, the form and artistic passion.

Technical requirements:

  • any technique: crayons, paints, pastels, collage, etc.
  • work format: B2 (50 × 70 cm), any orientation,
  • substrate: paper, bristol board, cardboard or corrugated board,
  • each group may submit only one work.

How to enter the competition?

Simply fill in the entry form (available on the organiser’s website) and send the finished work by 31 August 2025 to the address:

Małopolskie Centrum Kultury SOKÓŁ
ul. Długosza 3, 33-300 Nowy Sącz
with the note: COMPETITION — MAGIC OF FLIGHT — “WINGS OF HOPE”

Prizes and distinctions

Every work will be evaluated, and the creators of the best ones will receive exceptional prizes:

  • a glider flight over the Sącz region,
  • material prizes and vouchers to the Polish Aviation Museum,
  • diplomas and distinctions.

The winning works will be presented at exhibitions at the Provincial Pedagogical Library in Nowy Sącz and at the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków. Some of the works will also be sent to children’s hospital wards, bringing joy and hope.

Competition results will be announced after 15 September 2025 on the organisers’ websites.
