Art Creation Competition

“International students” is our unique identity. With this identity, compared to domestic students, we are facing extra barriers in terms of language, finances, and unfamiliar cultural environment, but also reap the special joy of exploring a new world. Does the special experience of being an international student ignite your artistic inspiration and spark a passion for self-expression? Do you want to use art creation as a medium to showcase your talent and unique experience and raise social awareness about the international student community?

Artistic creation is an effective way to showcase one’s creativity and attract the attention of the community. Aimed to show diverse cultures and raise social awareness of international students, IS Art contest encourages and inspires international students to create artworks that record life and express the feelings of studying abroad. We call for artworks such as paintings, photographs, and videos with the theme of studying abroad, providing a platform for international students to express themselves and seek resonance. We hope that IS ART will become one of the many glimmers of your life abroad and open a window for the community to understand international students.
