"Unknown Boundaries" Art Design Competition of Hanyang University in Korea in 2023 (UBAC)
- 2023-12-06
"Unknown Boundaries" refer to those areas, concepts or realms that we have not explored or understood. It represents the limitation of our knowledge and understanding of a certain subject, field or phenomenon. These boundaries may be due to the limitations of science and technology, cultural concepts, personal experience, or because we have not conducted in-depth research and exploration in some fields.
In 2023, Hanyang University is honored to announce the holding of a global art design competition to explore and demonstrate the creativity and infinite possibilities of "unknown Boundaries". The purpose of this competition is to encourage artists, designers and creative people to explore unknown areas from multiple angles, challenge traditional ideas and show their innovative thinking and imagination through artistic design works.
The competition will provide an international platform for the participants, so that they have the opportunity to communicate and express their minds with artists, designers and creative people from all over the world. Entries will be selected by a senior jury jointly established by the organizer and the co-organizer, and the evaluation criteria will include creativity, technology and unique expression. The final winning works will be displayed in the Online Exhibition column of ACA official website (www.aca-hk.com), and the winners will be rewarded with prizes and honorary certificates.
