Philippines Creative Nation: Inspiring the nation to dream
The Philippines witnessed an epic multimedia art competition that happened from November 28 ro December 9, 2021. Organized by Art in Need, a platform that offers a new and collaborative approach to accelerate the local creatives industry. Led by Bramwell Gonzales and Jose Salvacion.
Wasting no time for our future. Philippines Creative Nation is a multimedia art competition that aims to encourage artists to have a vision for the industry they’re in. The theme is how artists envision the future of our local creative industry. It doesn’t have to be big, but it just has to be theirs.
A NEW APPROACH
What sets this competition is the creation period. There’s a little twist that the organizers did. The theme were not told to the artists during the registration period, only hints. Artist kit can only be accessed by registered participants containing the Main theme and mechanics that was sent on December 9, 2021. The organizers also introduced a new format of having a deliberation for the Top 5 artists that got the most scores.
THE VISION
All of the submitted works were featured and can still be appreciated by the public at the facebook page of art in need https://www.facebook.com/artinneedph/posts/389355256315772?__tn__=-R
The young visionaries who won the event are Lindsay Almonte from University of Santo Tomas, Carlos Torres from De La Salle — College of Saint Benilde, and David Orino from Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
