As 2026 is celebrated as the Year of Chess in Education, the FIDE Chess in Education Commission is pleased to highlight schools worldwide that use chess classrooms as hubs for personal growth and social development. We are proud to announce the 2026 FIDE EDU Classroom Contest! Send us pictures of your chess classroom in action for a chance to win some great prizes:<\/p>

1st<\/sup> prize<\/strong> \u2013 Social media post by FIDE promoting your school program, free entry on a FIDE School Award application, and one free entry for the Preparation of Teacher\u2019s course, and one free annual subscription to LogiqBoard.<\/p>

2nd<\/sup> prize<\/strong> \u2013 Social media post by FIDE promoting your school program, free entry on a FIDE School Award application, 50% discount on a Preparation of Teacher\u2019s course, and a 50% discount on an annual LogiqBoard subscription.<\/p>

3rd<\/sup> prize<\/strong> \u2013 Social media post by FIDE promoting your school program, 50% discount on a FIDE School Award application, 25% discount on a Preparation of Teachers course, and a 25% discount on an annual LogiqBoard subscription.<\/p>

Entries will be judged on classroom engagement, creativity of classroom activities, the use of chess as an educational tool, and the ability of chess to bring people together. If a picture is worth a thousand words, we seek classrooms that speak for themselves in showing the power of chess to transform lives.<\/p>

The size of the school or chess club does not matter! Whether you are large institution or grassroots initiative, a school chess club is a place where students come together, play, socialize, learn, and build skills and relationships that will last a lifetime. Show us your classroom so we can show it to the world!<\/p>

Send photos to abel@riseforthekids.org<\/a><\/strong>. Each school may submit up to three photos of their chess classroom; photo must be under 500kB.<\/p>

Please include the name of your school, city, country, and the name of the chess teacher, coach, or school coordinator. We are eager to see the differences between chess classrooms around the world but also discover the common thread that makes us alike.<\/p>

The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2026<\/strong>. Winners will be announced May 8, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
