新賽季！2026美國加利福尼亞國際青少年美術大賽啟動報名

加利福尼亞國際青少年美術大賽（California International Youth Art Competition ，簡稱CIYA)，是由美國加州洛斯里奧斯學院、科斯門斯河學院、科斯門斯河美術館、意大利文化與藝術交流協會聯合主辦的一場國際性藝術賽事，大賽的主題為“科技與自然”（Technology and Nature），旨在通過藝術形式鼓勵全球青少年表達對未來的想象與思考。賽事著眼未來，而聚焦當代議題，如氣候危機、AI革命、文化沖突與技術壟斷，探討人類與自然的和諧重構以及更具包容性的文明模式。

The California International Youth Art Competition (CIYA) is a prestigious international art event co-hosted by the Los Rios Community College District, Cosumnes River College, the Italian Culture and Art Exchange Association, and Shengxinyu Art (China). Themed “Technology and Nature,” CIYA aims to inspire global youth to express their imaginations and reflections on the future through artistic creation, focusing on the interplay between technology and the natural world.

大賽于2025年首次舉辦，收到了來自中國、美國、意大利、新加坡、澳大利亞、加拿大、馬來西亞、泰國、新西蘭等17個國家，共計1239件作品參與比賽。在專業評審團的評定下，最后選定307件作品，于2025年11月1日-25日在加州科斯門斯河學院的美術館展出，展覽吸引了院校師生及薩克拉門托周邊教育、藝術愛好者的關注。

The competition first launched in 2025 and received 1,239 entries from 17 countries, including China, the United States, Italy, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Thailand, and New Zealand. After evaluation by a professional jury, 307 selected works were exhibited from November 1 to 25, 2025, at the Cosumnes River College Art Gallery in California. The exhibition attracted attention from college students and faculty, as well as educators and art enthusiasts throughout the Sacramento area.

加利福尼亞作為全球科技創新的中心，孕育了硅谷這一科技巨擘，擁有蘋果、谷歌、特斯拉等引領人工智能、清潔能源和數字化轉型的科技巨頭，其技術影響力輻射全球。科斯門斯河學院所在的薩克拉門托地區，不僅是加州的文化與教育樞紐，還因其靠近硅谷而深受創新氛圍的熏陶。CIYA依托這一獨特背景，將科技與藝術、自然相結合，鼓勵青少年以畫筆為媒介，探索科技如何在氣候危機、人工智能革命、文化沖突和技術壟斷等當代議題中與自然和諧共生。

大賽旨在通過藝術創作，探討科技對自然生態的深遠影響，倡導可持續發展和包容性文明的構建。青少年通過繪畫、雕塑、數字藝術等形式，表達對綠色技術、生態保護及文化多樣性的思考，展現科技如何成為修復自然、促進人類與環境和諧的橋梁。賽事不僅為全球青年提供展示創造力的國際平臺，還通過展覽和跨文化交流，激發公眾對科技倫理、環境保護及社會包容性的關注。CIYA希望以藝術為紐帶，連接科技與自然，激勵新一代以創新、責任感和全球視野，共同塑造一個更可持續、更具人文關懷的未來。

California stands as a global powerhouse of technological innovation, home to Silicon Valley, where tech giants like Apple, Google, and Tesla drive advancements in artificial intelligence, clean energy, and digital transformation, exerting profound influence worldwide. Located in Sacramento, Cosumnes River College benefits from its proximity to this epicenter of innovation, fostering a vibrant environment where education, culture, and technology converge. Against this backdrop, CIYA leverages California’s technological prominence to encourage young artists to explore how technology can coexist harmoniously with nature, addressing critical contemporary issues such as the climate crisis, AI revolution, cultural conflicts, and technological monopolies.

Through diverse artistic mediums like painting, sculpture, and digital art, the competition invites youth to envision how technology can serve as a bridge to restore ecosystems, promote sustainability, and foster inclusive civilizations. CIYA provides a global platform for young creatives to showcase their talents while sparking cross-cultural dialogue through exhibitions, encouraging public discourse on technological ethics, environmental stewardship, and cultural diversity. By intertwining art, technology, and nature, CIYA seeks to inspire the next generation to embrace innovation, responsibility, and a global perspective, shaping a future that is sustainable, equitable, and deeply connected to the natural world.

賽事主題

“科技與自然”

Technology and Nature

科技與自然，看似對立，實則共生共融。人類借助科技探索自然奧秘，而自然的智慧又啟發科技的創新。這一主題鼓勵青少年思考：

和諧共生：科技如何幫助保護自然（如清潔能源、生態修復）？人類怎樣用技術減少對環境的破壞？

靈感之源：自然中的形態、結構（如仿生學）如何推動科技發展？例如飛機源于鳥翼，太陽能模仿光合作用。

未來想象：如果科技與自然完美結合，我們的城市、生活會有怎樣的改變？是垂直森林建筑，還是AI守護瀕危物種？

鼓勵青少年兒童們圍繞主題用描繪無限的觀察與創想——可以描繪科技修復自然的場景，或幻想未來人與萬物智能互聯的奇妙世界。

Technology and Nature: seemingly opposing, yet symbiotically intertwined. Humanity explores the mysteries of nature through technology, while the wisdom of nature inspires technological innovation. This theme encourages young people to reflect on:

How can technology help protect nature (e.g., clean energy, ecological restoration)? How can humans use technology to reduce environmental damage?

How do natural forms and structures (e.g., biomimicry) drive technological advancements? For instance, airplanes draw inspiration from bird wings, and solar energy mimics photosynthesis.

If technology and nature were perfectly integrated, how would our cities and lives transform? Would we see vertical forest buildings or AI guardians for endangered species?

Young participants are encouraged to unleash their boundless observations and creativity around this theme—whether depicting scenes of technology restoring nature or envisioning a wondrous future where humans and all living things are intelligently interconnected.
