Contest Rules for the 2010 GSIS Art Competition

THE 2010 GSIS ART COMPETITION

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is inviting Filipino artists to join the 2010 GSIS Art Competition. This year's competition has an open theme. The artist is encouraged to explore his best in presenting and conceptualizing his art entry. It is through this competition that we hope to view and produce diverse interpretations of what's inside an artist's mind. From the previous two (2) categories, this year, we have added the Sculpture Category in order to invite more artists to participate

Official entry forms are available in all GSIS offices (Headquarters, regional Offices and Satellite Office) and other offices and galleries starting February 22, 2010.
