WITHOUT BORDERS! An International Art Competition

School of Visual Arts, WUD invites artists worldwide to participate in the International Art Competition cum Exhibition named “Without Borders!”



Without Borders!

This is a unique art competition that does not judge artwork based on skill or technique. Instead, submissions are judged solely on the interpretation and depth of the subject matter.

Without Borders stand for creative endeavours and the belief that crosses borders; Use of any combination of materials, coloration, juxtaposed materials or visuals, or illumination for concealment. It can be interpreted in the context of how we deal with conflict, new-normal, distancing, hiding consciously / unconsciously in unexpected scenarios.
