Established in 2012, Passion to Perform is a competition with a mandate to foster the important contributions art makes to vibrant communities.

The objective, since the beginning, has been to support and encourage emerging artists from around the world and develop a world class collection of work representing these artists.

For this year’s contest, artists are welcome to submit paintings, drawings, mixed media, sculptures and photography.

Passion To Perform celebrates the interconnection between performance and passion, and aims to award winning entrants with meaningful compensation that can positively impact each artist’s practice and encourage them to pursue their passion.

There is no entry fee.

Eligibility
