This year, in the month of January, an art competition conducted by ADMEC Multimedia Institute, gave a great platform for aspiring design students to showcase their skills and creativity. Such competitions not only provide an opportunity to young artists to gain recognition, but also help in fostering a culture of art and creativity.

Why ADMEC conducts Art Competitions?

For exposure

One of the key benefits of an art competition is that it provides exposure to the artists. Art students who participate in these competitions get an opportunity to showcase their work to a wider audience, which includes not just other artists, but also art enthusiasts, art critics, and potential clients. This exposure can lead to various opportunities for the artists, such as commissions, exhibitions, and collaborations.

Platform to get feedback

There is one more benefits of conducting such art competitions and it is the pointing out of mistakes students do while designing. The judges of the competition are typically experienced artists, art critics, and designers, who provide valuable insights and suggestions to the participants. The feedbacks from respected trainers let the students improve their designs as well as style of work.

Inspire students

Another reason for art competitions is that they are the great source or way to inspire the students to do better in designing and learn new things enthusiastically. The competitions motivate design students to create new works and explore new techniques and mediums and work on the innovative idea creation.

To identify and nurture talent

For the design institute conducting the competition, it provides an opportunity to identify and nurture talent. The institute can use the competition as a way to scout for talented students who can be offered scholarships or other forms of support. It also helps the institute to build its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and attract more students.

Theme of the Art Competition

The competition was divided into two parts, with the first part challenging students to create a story that depicted the advantages and disadvantages of India and Pakistan as one nation without partition. The second part of the competition involved creating an abstract poster on either face or nature, using primary and secondary colors on canvas.

Story Writing for the Ad

The story writing task required students to think deeply about the potential benefits and drawbacks of the scenario where two countries were never divided. They had to use their imagination and creativity to come up with a compelling storyline that would showcase their writing skills. The instructors provided guidance and feedback to help the students refine their work and bring their stories to life.

Abstract Art Poster Making

In the poster creation task, students had to use their understanding of color theory and composition to create a visually appealing abstract artwork. The posters had to be creative and unique, using a mix of primary and secondary colors to convey a mood or emotion. The students were encouraged to experiment with different textures and techniques to create a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
