The Philippine Stock Exchange is holding SiningPSE: 2012
National Art Competition with the theme, "Nagkakaisang Pilipino Para sa
Maunlad at Masigasig na Kalakalan" (United Filipino People for Progressive
and Active Trade). Sining PSE forms part of the activities lined up by
the PSE to celebrate its 20th Anniversary.
The PSE is celebrating several milestones this year
including the Exchange's incorporation on July 14, 1992, the declaration of
merger of the former Manila and Makati
"Through this art competition, we hope to portray and
showcase how working together can produce positive results towards development
of business, livelihood and trade," PSE Chairman Jose T. Pardo said.
This is the first undertaking by the PSE to engage amateur
artists 21 years old and above in a nationwide art competition.
SiningPSE is unique such that an institution involved in
currency and equities is investing in the creativity of the Filipino people
through a nationwide art contest. The competition will also capitalize on
budding Filipino talents that could emerge as the next Philippine master.
"The PSE believes that investing in the creativity of
the Filipino people is tantamount and parallel to investing in education of a
different form. Art is a universal and unifying language that people from all
walks of life and various cultures understand. Art is important in reaching out
to various markets as we continue to flourish in a global economy," Mr.
Pardo said.
The winning artworks will be featured in the 2012 PSE
annual report and other publishable materials and products of the PSE for
distribution to various publics.
"It is our hope that through this nationwide art
competition, our vision and the role of the capital markets in national
development will be communicated through the broad and confident brush strokes
and the bold stylized forms of the works that will be created in the next few
months," Mr. Pardo also said.
SiningPSE is a nationwide painting and sculpture contest
open to all non-professional Filipino artists, 21 years old and above. The PSE
will pick 10 finalists for each category. There will be three grand cash prizes
to be awarded for each category and seven consolation cash prizes.
National Artists Hon. Benedicto Cabrera (BenCab) and Hon.
Abdulmari Imao will head the board of judges for the Painting and Sculpture
categories for the competition.
Winning entries will be based on originality of the work,
overall impact or message and the rendition or use of material. Deadline for
the submission of entries is on October 1, 2012. Regional entries sent to the
Project Secretariat care of Studio 5 Designs via standard registered package or
courier must be postmarked October 1, 2012.
In line with the objective of the Sining PSE to develop
creativity, originality, and artistic excellence, the contest requires that all
entries submitted for the competition must be original works by the participant
and must not have been entered to other related art competitions.
