Sasol’s New Signatures Art Competition : Entries Now Open!
Sasol New Signatures Art Competition Launched in April, entries for this challenging competition close on 30th June 2017 and judges for the Competition are looking for works that make a strong statement and exude superior quality of craftsmanship and technical skill. ENTRIES CLOSE IN TWO WEEK’S TIME.
National Chairman, Dr Pieter Binsbergen said he is excited about this year’s contest and stated: “I look forward to seeing the magnitude of talent the competition will uncover in 2017. This is truly an amazing and exciting journey and I urge you all to enjoy the ‘visual arts road trip’ with us”.
Works must reveal skilled handling of materials and techniques and be presented in such a way that convinces the judges that the artist was mindful of the work having to stand in its own right as an artwork. Artists are also advised to consider professional presentation so that talent and good work are not marred by lack of planning and bad presentation. And most importantly works must be display-ready when entered.
