CONTEST RESULTS 2026
“All grown-ups were once children...”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
GRAND PRIZE OF THE COMPETITION
One day, I saw the sun set forty-four times!
Clara Hallé
16 years old
Gouache on paper
Nantes, France
Description :
I imagined the Little Prince on his planet, Asteroid B-612, with his friends: the rose, the fox, and also the aviator, who is the narrator of the story. In my painting, I wanted to show the Little Prince engaging in one of his favorite activities: watching sunsets (as many times as he wishes). This scene does not exist in Saint-Exupéry's work, but I found it interesting to see the Little Prince share the magic of his little planet with his friends. The saturated colors and the framing of stars are meant to make the painting shine and give it a warm feeling. The field of roses and the airplane evoke the circumstances of the Little Prince's encounters with the fox and the aviator. I like to think that the Little Prince, who was so sad to realize that his rose was not unique, is now friends with an entire garden of roses.

FOR KINDNESS AND SENSITIVITY
The heart has eyes
Charline Lopez
6 years old
Pastel, pencil, collage
Aix-en-Provence, France
Description :
In my little world, everything is very soft.
Love is everywhere, like a light that warms the heart.
People are kind and they hold hands.
When you love someone, you see them with your heart, even if you don't see them with your eyes.
In my world, there are flowers.
I give them water so they stay beautiful.
People are the same you have to take care of them gently.
There are animals, birds, and a rainbow in the sky.
Here, it is calm and you feel good.
This is my universe.
I protect it every day like a treasure…
because love is the most important thing.
FANTASY AND DREAM
The only rose in the whole world
Daria Mendel
16 years old
Gouache
Rostov-on-Don, Russia
Description :
True friendship could never be forgotten. Wherever you go, the memory of your friend will always be there, and that person will be one of a kind for you. Just like a rose for the Little Prince, among many others, it remains the only rose in the whole world for him.
BEST LITTLE PRINCE
The Little Prince
Sofi Tashmatova
15 years old
Watercolor
Cannes, France
Description :
This is an illustration inspired by "The Little Prince," but with the addition of themes of war and destruction. The work contrasts two worlds — the pure, childlike world full of meaning (the Little Prince on his planet, the stars) and the cruel, real world of adults (the airplane, the pilot, explosions, the snake as a symbol of danger or death). The Little Prince stands confidently as a guardian of values — sincerity, courage, and inner truth. Around him is chaos, but he remains in his world of light and meaning. Even amidst destruction and anxiety, it is important to preserve inner purity, humanity, and the ability to see what truly matters — "with the heart," not with the eyes.
FOR AN ECOLOGICAL VISION OF THE WORLD
The Harmony of the Little World
Anais Belissont
14 years old
Oil painting
Frejus, France
Description :
Through this painting, with its textured and dynamic brushstrokes, I wanted to capture the fragility and beauty of our planet. By bringing together the Little Prince, the fox, and the rose in a single gesture of tenderness, my work illustrates the importance of the bonds that connect us to all living things. For me, taking care of the Earth begins with kindness and friendship. This is the message of hope and unity I wish to share: a world where harmony between humanity and nature has finally been restored.
