13-19 Art Prize
Unleash Your Creativity. Make an Impact.
The 13–19 Art Prize is back, celebrating bold ideas, fresh voices, and the power of art to make a difference. This annual competition shines a spotlight on the next generation of creative talent across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Open to artists aged 13 to 19, the competition is about imagination, individuality, and fearless expression. It is your space to share what matters to you through colour, form, and storytelling.
More than just an art competition, the 13–19 Art Prize connects creativity with purpose. Winning artworks will be exhibited at Ngee Ann City Atrium (October – dates to be confirmed) and auctioned in support of The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF). This fund has helped over 26,000 underserved children and youth discover and develop their artistic potential.
Every artwork has the power to inspire and create opportunities for others through the arts.
Create boldly. Share your perspective. Make art that gives back.
