2011 Shell National Students Art Competition entries will be recieved in Davao City on July 21-23!

 

The 44th Shell National Students Art Competition (NSAC) is now accepting submissions for the country’s first and longest-running student art contest.

The tilt is open to college students currently enrolled with at least 12 units. There are five categories to compete in: Oil/Acrylic, Watercolor, Sculpture, Digital Fine Arts, and Calendar in oil/acrylic. Except for the calendar category, all competition categories are open-themed to inspire subject explorations among participants.

The Calendar category represents a special place in the history and heritage of NSAC because in 1951, Shell turned its search for a subject for the 1952 calendar into a national art competition exclusively for students. This year’s calendar theme, “Alamat Noon Para Sa Ngayon,” engages young artists to creatively re-imagine Philippine mythical characters and stories such as Mariang Makiling, Bernardo Carpio, Ibong Adarna, and others. The theme is envisioned to give new vibrancy to the country’s rich and colorful folk tales that reflect time-honored values.

Pilipinas Shell’s advocacy of youth development in art has been nurtured for 44 years to the point that an award from Shell has come to mean that the student artist has genuine talent. Through the years, NSAC’s previous winners have included National Artists Jose Joya, Ang Kiukok, BenCab, Fred Aguilar Alcuaz and other Filipino contemporary masters. Up to P50,000 cash are at stake for the grand prize winners, plus cash and medals for the other winners. A special grant in support of the Faculty Development Program is also awarded every year to schools of the first place winners.

Entries will be received at the following locations on July 21, 22, and 23: Shell depots and installations outside Metro Manila; Gallery Orange, second floor, Lopue’s Annex, Mandalagan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental; Museo Iloilo, Bonifacio Drive, Iloilo City; Anthill Fabric Gallery, Pedro Calomarde cor. Acacia Sts., Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City; GENLUNA Gallery, 90 Davao Medical School Drive, Bajada, Davao City. On Aug. 4, 5, and 6, 2011 contestants must submit entries at the Shell Art House, 698 Aurora Blvd., New Manila, Quezon City (in front of St. Paul’s University).

The program is supported by Air 21, Canson Artist Papers, Winsor & Newton, Lefranc & Bourgeois, National Book Store, Ayala Museum, Shell V-Power, Shellane, Shell Helix, GENLUNA Gallery, Anthill Fabric Gallery, Museo Iloilo, and Gallery Orange.

Protégé hunt in Davao City on Aug. 5!

The battle for the next singing superstar begins with an overwhelming number of aspirants as the nationwide hunt for GMA 7’s Protégé kicked off its first leg of auditions in Bicol and Cebu.

Potential contenders flocked to the SM Naga event center last July 15 to take their chance in the auditions for the talent search. Imelda Papin traveled to the province to find the best music acts in the Bicol Region.

Kids, teenagers, adults and family singers queued and took moments on the centerstage to showcase their talents. Hopefuls came all the way from Albay, Legazpi, Sorsogon and Camarines Norte to find out if they could fit the mould of a protégé.

Imelda, a native of the province, admitted that she really had a hard time choosing her three potential protégés.

Meanwhile, Rachelle Ann Go scoured the island of Cebu to find the best Cebuano music acts last July 17. She turned emotional over some of the talents who performed in front of her. Hundreds of Protégé hopefuls gathered at SM City Cebu and showed that the Queen City of the South has a lot of undiscovered talents.

After the audition, Rachelle tweeted: “Magaling mga nag-audition kanina para sa protege dito sa Cebu! nahirapan ako pumili ng 3. Kung pede lang magpasok ng madami gagawin ko!”

Both mentors have three potential protégés who will be moving on to the next round of auditions in Manila. Eight more mentors are set to look for their prospective protégés as the second leg of auditions continues in Batangas tomorrow, July 24, with Claire Dela Fuente.

The nationwide auditions continue on the following dates and venues: July 29, NE Pacific Mall Cabanatuan; July 31, SM Pampanga; Aug. 5, SM Davao; Aug. 7, CSI Mall Dagupan; Aug. 10, SM Cagayan de Oro; and Aug. 13, SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. Auditions will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
