World Charity Painting Competition 2024
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of Singapore’s independence. Over the past six decades, Singapore has grown from a small island into a globally admired garden city and multicultural hub. Guided by the spirit of harmony, coexistence, and innovation, it has contributed a unique model of development to the world.
To commemorate this historic milestone, the World Charity Painting Competition launches a Special Edition for Singapore’s 60th Anniversary, using art as a bridge to connect people across nations. With the theme “Harmony · Coexistence · Future,” this competition invites artists, students, and enthusiasts worldwide to share their visions. Through their works, participants will not only tell Singapore’s unique story but also extend its values to the global stage, inspiring collective imagination for peace, philanthropy, and sustainable development.
We believe that art is not only the creation of beauty, but also a vital force for global dialogue and philanthropic action. Especially in the digital age, this year's competition introduces a new category for digital art and AI-assisted creation, encouraging participants to blend emerging technologies with traditional painting techniques to jointly explore the boundless possibilities of art and the future.
Wherever you are from, whether a beginner or a professional artist, as long as you carry dreams and goodwill, you are warmly welcome to join this celebration of humanity through art.
