Next September the International Cartographic Association (ICA), represented by the Commission on Cartography and Children plans to announce the Barbara Petchenik Competition 2021. As usual, we should select a theme for the competition. In 2016 we decided to support the International Map Year using "We love maps" as theme for the competitions in 2017 and 2019. Now it is time to select a new theme for the competitions to be held in 2021 and 2023. We wish to ask all the members and supporters of ICA Commissions, all the representatives of ICA member nations, all the representatives and members of sister organizations and all colleagues in general to propose themes for the next two competitions. The organizers of the competition are open to any theme that can be represented by children on their maps. As help, here we list some of the themes selected for previous competitions: "Save the Earth", "Many nations, one world", "Living in a globalized world" and "My place in today’s world". </span></span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We would ask colleagues to send their proposals to the <a style="color:#0563c1;text-decoration:underline" href="mailto:jesusreyes@caesar.elte.hu" target="_blank">jesusreyes@caesar.elte.hu</a> e-mail address at latest on May 15.
