For this year, more than 15,000 participants across 10 countries including Korea, US, China (Hong Kong), Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, India, Philippines, Thailand, and Myanmar joined the event. For the global division, more than 5,100 students between 4-9 years of age registered and joined the contest to produce a drawing about a given topic, as well as a 50-word caption to describe it. This year, the younger group of children was to illustrate their thoughts about "My Hobby" whereas the older group had the topic "If I Could Change One Thing in the World".

A total of six winners were selected from the global category – three from each age group – and were invited to Korea to join the global awards ceremony with a parent/guardian.
