13-19 Art Prize
Launched in 2021, the 13-19 Art Prize is an annual art competition which seeks to recognise and celebrate young art talents in Singapore, while also imparting values of giving back to the community to support their peers from underserved backgrounds through the arts.
Open to young talents aged 13 to 19 years old, the 13-19 Art Prize seeks to inspire the next generation of artists to take their creative potential to new heights and promote a diversity of artistic expressions.
As a fundraiser, all winning works from the 13-19 Art Prize are exhibited and auctioned off to raise funds for The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF). Adopted by The Business Times in 2005, BT BAF has reached out to over 22,000 children and youth from underserved backgrounds, empowering them to pursue their dreams and fulfil their potential in the arts. The fund provides structured arts training programmes at two arts training centres managed by TRCL, The Little Arts Academy and 10 Square Youth.
