📋 Tender Overview
Educational institutions across Brazil have until June 30th to register for the 15th Drawing and Writing Competition (CDR), promoted by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU). This year, the competitions theme is Fact or Rumor? The Power of Truth in the Information Age, which proposes a reflection on the importance of reliable information in a context marked by disinformation.
The 2026 edition invites children, teenagers, young people and adults to exercise creativity and critical thinking about the role of truth in contemporary society, especially given the challenges posed by misinformation and the rapid circulation of content on digital networks and platforms.
Students from the 1st to 5th year of Elementary School, regularly enrolled in educational institutions, can participate in the Drawing category. The proposal is for children to artistically express their vision on the topic, exploring concepts related to truth, responsibility and sharing information.
In the Writing category, students from the 6th to 9th year of Elementary School, the 1st to 3rd year of High School and Youth and Adult Education (EJA) can compete. The modality seeks to stimulate reflection and argumentation through writing, encouraging different perspectives and approaches to the proposed topic.
In addition to student participation, schools can also compete in the Citizen School category, by sending a Mobilization Plan that demonstrates the actions developed to encourage the school communitys participation in the competition. The initiative represents an opportunity to share good practices, inspire other institutions and compete for awards.
In this edition, the competition has, for the first time, the Inclusive Special Education Category, created to ensure specialized educational assistance for students with disabilities and expand the participation of different audiences in the initiative.
The CGU Drawing and Writing Competition is an action to promote citizenship, ethics, integrity and social control among Brazilian students. Throughout its editions, the initiative has mobilized millions of participants across the country.
Interested parties must consult the regulations and register by June 30th through the CGU Citizen Education Program Portal. The deadline will not be extended this year, due to the electoral closure.
