Oo nga po sayang kung mga paintings, pwede kung photos lang ang entries. Malaki sana prizes kung wala ring VAT. P100k less VAT P80k nalang yun. Anyways thank you Sir!

I swatch year of the tiger contest…

The organizers of the art contest should return the artwork for the non-winning entries not only because of the expenses of the artist but also because of the sentimental and cultural value attached to the artwork. I hope the organizers will consider these things.

I also suggest that entry form should be posted and can be downloaded in the internet.
Islaw, on January 29th, 2010 at 12:38 pm Said:

Exactly.. I agree with you on that.. I was a participant last year and the artwork i submitted was the first painting I made in 4 years. I could put my artwork in good use after the contest..

Entry forms are available at every issue of The Philippine Star.

Agreed also the artwork should be return, it’s the fruit of their labor and it should be tax free or else don’t declare the prizes at 100k it’s only 80k! Good luck!

But all in all this is a good contest. We want more art contest like this.

Sayang naman pala artwork natin, hindi na maibabalik. gagamitin pa nila kahit saan kahit hindi ka winner.

i hope na maging justifiable ang pag-judge s
mga artwork. Kasi iba-iba ang medium. May
painting, photgraphy, sculpture,etc. Sana manalo
bawat medium. hindi lang sa isang area lang

@ Jun: Ganun naman po ginawa nila last year sa judging lahat ng feild of arts may nanalo (may painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, costume, etc.) Hindi nga ako nagagandahan dun sa abstract painting pero I guess kaya nanalo yun para magkaroon ng art na may brush or palette stroke. Don’t you worry basta maganda gawa mo.

Mas ok nga ang contest ng Swatch ngayon hindi tulad dati photo contest lang Hindi mo control ang idea mo lalo na kapag wala kang good camera. Puro photographers lang nakakasali at di yung mga iba pang artists. Ngayon you are free to express yourself. No limit.. I commend Swatch for this. Good Job!
