The ASEAN-Korea Centre launches the 2011 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Competition for young artists including university/graduate students of ASEAN and Korea. The Competition is organized to provide a channel of exchanges and to enhance mutual understanding between the young generation of ASEAN and Korea through new media.

The theme, FUTURE IMAGE illustrates ASEAN’s today and tomorrow’s contemporary image and suggests a new conformity of its art and culture in this global society. It aims to be a cultural platform for the young communities of ASEAN and Korea to overcome the standardized image of ASEAN and to pursue a new and contemporary language of the art in ASEAN as the nexus of today’s digital community.

Selected artists will be presented with opportunities to introduce artworks to the contemporary art circles in Asia. The winners residing in ASEAN countries (up to two individuals per team) will be invited to Korea for seminar and exhibition, with provision of airfare, accommodation and daily allowance for 4 nights, 5 days, as well as a cash prize of up to 300USD. Winners will be announced on their website on 13 June 2011.

Entry submission is open till 31 May 2011. Details of the competition and submission procedures are provided on their website. For further information or enquiries, please visit the website at www.aseankoreammc.com or contact the Information and Data Unit at mmc@aseankorea.org  tel: 822-2287-1141.
