British Council Wales proudly presents the Wales International Young Artist Award #WIYAA. Wales has a thriving creative industry and the Wales International Young Artist Award aims to identify a new pool of young talent across the creative sectors, and nurture it further by offering young artists from Wales, national and international exposure. Young artists interested in entering can belong to a range of creative backgrounds including painting, sculpture, as well as photography, graphic design, printmaking drawing and film. They must be aged between 17 – 25, and be Welsh born and/or Welsh resident. A winner will be selected in November 2013 and will get the opportunity for his/her work to have an international platform through our network of offices in six continents and over 100 countries. There will also be a cash prize of £500. Promotion Applications are currently open, the deadline is the 30th of September 2013. We have developed a webpage dedicated for this award http://www.britishcouncil.org/wales-wiyaa.htm. In addition, promotion has been made through social media channels Facebook and Twitter where a hashtag is being promoted #wyiaa. We now wish to expand this campaign and hope your organisation could assist by promoting this award through your networks as we aim to reach a specific demographic (17 – 25 year olds). This could range from featuring in your magazines/newsletters, social media channels or a British Council representative attending events to promote this award, we are open to suggestions. If you would like to discuss this further please contact Jonathan Thomas – jonathan.thomas@britishcouncil.org or 02920 924334. |
