The “Asian Games for All” project aims to engage Asian societies all over the continent, to give everyone the chance to be involved in these Games and live the experience regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability to get involved to promote the Asian Games. “Asian Games for All” is a space to express the harmony and spirit of the team and the country’s best representation.
The project, the Asian Games Drawing Contest offers the opportunity for primary school students in Asia to express their imagination and understanding of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026 and to show their support for their favourite athletes in their own country or region or to draw their favourite sport.
The NOC Sri Lanka will call for an online registration for the children under 13 to engage and promote the concept “Asian Games for All” under the theme of “National Sports and Athletes in 2026 Aichi Nagoya Asian Games.”

From these finalists, the top two boys’ and top two girls’ paintings will be chosen to represent Sri Lanka and will be sent to China for the Asian-level contest.
