About the competition
✧About the Awards
Since its inception in 2017, the Jing Shan Creative Art Awards marks its 5th edition this year. Guided by the vision of creating a “Borderless Public Art Platform,” the awards aim to nurture the next generation of talent and foster an environment for free, vibrant, and creative exchange.
✧Competition Theme|【Between & Beyond】
Xia Jing-Shan's calligraphy and painting works are rooted in tradition yet unconstrained by it; they draw on religious themes yet transcend religious boundaries, using line and color to convey benevolent intention and to create a visual language that soothes the human spirit.
Between art and life, between tradition and the contemporary, between religion and the human spirit — can we find connections across well-defined boundaries, and uncover new creative possibilities in the spaces in between?
We invite participants to engage with the creative spirit of Xia Jing-Shan, exploring new possibilities between boundaries and responding to contemporary needs through works of aesthetic, functional, and socio-cultural innovation.
