Perlas ng Silangan: Student Art Competition

Posted on: June 20, 2025

The Filipino spirit shines through every brushstroke, every color, every canvas. In a nation rich with culture and natural beauty, today’s youth stand as proud storytellers—artists who reflect the soul of the Philippines through their creative expression.

They see the Perlas ng Silangan not just as a place, but as a living masterpiece—its lush landscapes, vibrant traditions, and resilient communities forming the palette of their imagination. Through art, they honor the Ganda ng Kalikasan and celebrate the Kulay ng Bayan—the diverse hues of our people, heritage, and hope.

This year, Jetti invites young Filipino artists to ignite their creativity and showcase what makes our country truly beautiful. Whether drawn from nature, culture, or community, these works will serve as powerful reminders of what we must protect, cherish, and uplift.

Let their art be a beacon. Let it remind us that when the youth create with purpose, they don’t just paint pictures—they paint the future of a more united, inspired, and proudly Filipino nation.

Submission Guidelines:

Artwork dimensions must be no smaller than 20 x 26 inches and must not exceed 48 inches on any side, in either portrait or landscape orientation.

To ensure your artwork is presented in the best possible way, follow these tips when photographing your piece:

Hang it at eye level. Mount your artwork on a clean, flat wall. Position it so that the center of the piece is aligned with your camera’s lens to avoid distortion.
Avoid reflections. If your artwork is framed behind glass, remove the glass before shooting to eliminate glare or reflections.
Use natural lighting. Choose a well-lit room with ample natural light. Avoid harsh overhead lights or direct sunlight that may cast shadows or wash out colors.
Shoot straight on. Keep your camera parallel to the artwork—do not tilt or angle the lens. This helps maintain the true proportions of your piece.
Check for clarity. Make sure the photo is sharp, evenly lit, and free of filters or distracting backgrounds.

A clear, well-lit photo helps your work shine and ensures it’s judged accurately. Take your time—presentation matters!

The photo submitted must be a clear and accurate representation of the final artwork. Digital enhancements, filters, or alterations are strictly not allowed. No changes may be made to the artwork after submission.
Entries must not include any artist signatures, watermarks, or identifying marks on the artwork or image.
Submitted entries must be original and must not have been entered in any other national or international art competitions prior to this contest.
Each participant may submit up to three (3) entries. Each entry must be registered and submitted separately.
Submission period runs from June 30, 2025 (12:00 AM PHT) to August 15, 2025 (11:59 PM PHT). Late submissions will not be accepted.
