On Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025, children aged 4 to 11 and young people aged 12 to 17 were once again able to let their artistic creativity run wild with street chalk on the Rambla. Inspired by the great artists in Marktstraße, they were able to give free rein to their creativity on a one-square-meter area. In 2025, our Children & Youth Street Art Festival had the motto: “Paint your story! Show your story – colorful, creative, individual.”

The winners of the Youth Street Art Festival 2025
What an impressive weekend – full of creativity, color, and expression! At this year's Children & Youth Street Art Festival, young talents shared their passion for street painting with us, and we are thrilled by so much skill and ingenuity!
Over the two days of the event, a total of around 90 children and 15 young people actively painted and brought their ideas to life on the pavement.
1st place: Amanda from Hamburg (15 years old)
2nd place: Rasmus from Friedeburg (14 years old)
3rd place: Alan-Malin Wolk from Wilhelmshaven (13 years old)
Children StreetArt Festival
Children aged four to eleven were free to choose their own motifs. Whether they conjured up castles in the air with chalk, created soap bubbles out of paint, or brought their dream images to life—individuality was the order of the day here. From 4:30 p.m., it was also worth it for the young artists to visit the stage on the Rambla. There, the little ones could take part in a raffle for attractive vouchers and prizes for their efforts
Youth StreetArt Festival
Young people between the ages of 12 and 17, on the other hand, took part in a competition with their art, just like the professional street artists. This year's motto, “Paint your story! Show your story – colorful, creative, individual,” was intended to encourage the young artists to show what makes them tick and what they are interested in. This allowed them to bring impressions from their lives to the streets in a painterly way. To help them make the most of their talents, they were given professional street chalk. On Sunday, a jury judged the artwork. The winners were announced at around 5 p.m. and took home a high-quality pastel chalk set and a StreetArt trophy donated by the master stonemasonry company Steingerecht.
Participation was free of charge for children and young people again this year. This was made possible thanks to the support of the Gerd Möller Foundation and a number of sponsors. The Children & Youth Street Art Festival was organized by the KulturGut e.V. association.
