The Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Islamabad has a great chance for young digital artists. They’re hosting the ECO Youth Award to find the best digital art and graphic design from young artists in the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) member states. Winners get a $1,000 cash prize and a chance to show off their creativity.
The ECO Youth Award wants to see original and creative designs that tell important stories and show the different cultures of the ECO region. Anyone between 18 and 30 who loves digital art can enter the contest.
How to Apply
Young artists interested in entering the competition can submit their digital art on the ECOCI Youth Award website at this link. The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2024, so aspiring artists should make sure to submit their entries before the deadline.
Why the ECO Youth Award Matters
The ECO Youth Award plays a vital role in building strong bonds among people in the ECO region. It’s a way to empower young individuals to drive development in ECO countries and get involved in cultural activities actively.
By supporting young talents, the award also helps spread the word about the ECO Cultural Institute and its goals. It not only honors outstanding achievements in art and design but also encourages contributions to research, social activities, culture, and sports.
How Winners Are Chosen
The ECO Youth Award recognizes individuals who excel in their field, whether through research, art, or cultural endeavors. Each ECO member country nominates up to three young artists, using a form available on the ECOCI website. The nominations must be submitted three months before the award ceremony.
A special Award Committee, made up of Cultural Attachés from ECO member states, picks one winner from each country. The winning artists are announced at a special hybrid ceremony, often held on ECOCI Day or ECO Day.
What Winners Get
Winners from each country receive recognition for their outstanding talent and creativity. The ECO Youth Award provides a platform for young artists to showcase their work and gain exposure within the ECO region.
It’s a fantastic chance for them to connect with peers, learn from others, and contribute to the cultural heritage of the ECO region. Along with the cash prize, the award helps young artists advance their careers and make a bigger impact in the digital art field.
The ECO Youth Award is an annual event, so those who don’t win this year can try again in the future. For winners, it’s a fantastic opportunity to boost their careers and gain recognition for their efforts.
