December 10 is International Human Rights Day, and to mark the date this year I am happy to announce that I will be one of the judges of an art contest held by Skaped. This art contest is open to all young people age 16 - 30 years old living in the UK responding to the question "What do human rights mean to you?" By creating artwork and bringing awareness to issues you care about, together we'll stand up for human rights and carry on!
The art forms accepted for the competition are painting, drawing, photography, collages, fine art/sculptures, illustration, fabric art or digital art. The winner will receive a £100 voucher worth of art supply.
The winner will be selected by a panel of 4 judges::
Nigel Twumasi, co-founder of Mayamada, using manga to inspire a new generation of creatives and entrepreneurs to make a social impact.
Shajna Begum, founder of The Film Bunch, improving access for deaf and hard-of-hearing people to mainstream short films.
Kirsty Reynolds, visual artist bringing people together to connect through play and creativity.
JC Candanedo, visual artist using photography to explore Human Rights, Mental Health and Identity.
Submissions are open from the 3rd-22nd of December, with the winner announced on the 30th of December.
