If you are selected to be one of the top 10 finalists, 3 of your artworks will be exhibited at the finalist group exhibition held at la galerie from 27 January 2021 – 13  February 2021. The winner of the competition will be announced on the opening night of finalist group exhibition.

The GRAND PRIZE for the winner is a SOLO EXHIBITION at la galerie in 2021!

THEME: INTERLUDE

Interlude is a short interval between a play or a concert. It is a liminal space that often calls for reflection and introspection, solitude amidst the chaos and uncertainty. Due to the outbreak of the pandemic, we have adapted to new routines and reconsidered the normalcy in our lives. An interlude is rather synonymous with the period we have spent in isolation where time seems to have stood still and a warm invitation for new beginnings.
