Third annual Young Painters competition – Société Générale Algeria

 For the past three years, Société Générale Algeria has organised a Young Painters competition to “help uncover talented contemporary artists and contribute to the growth of creativity in Algerian fine art”. The theme of the third edition of the event is “teamwork, innovation, responsibility and engagement”. The contest is open to all contemporary art enthusiasts or students under the age of 45 who reside in Algeria.

The three winners will be selected by a panel of renowned experts from the Algerian art world. Plus, the 13 best pieces will be displayed in a joint exhibition and printed in a 2016 calendar published by the company.

The work must be entirely the candidate’s own. Applicants should send a CV and a photo of the artwork before 15 August 2015 to sga.art@socgen.com   

Competition rules are available at http://www.societegenerale.dz/concours_artistes.htm   

In the previous two years, around 100 applications were received.
