TURN YOUR VISION INTO ART


Enter The Global Creative Awards


Three things separate a true creative artist from a dreamer:

extraordinarily creative ideas, the ability to bring them to life, and doing it so well that it inspires others to reach for greatness too.


And you’re a true artist.

Everything you do shows this. You see the world as an opportunity. We get that.


And now we want to celebrate that. We invite you to share your work with us and the world.

You have the talent; we have the stage for you.


Take the Chance to Show the World What a True Creative Does:

IMAGINE, CREATE AND INSPIRE.


2021 Winners:

Kyle Van Wyk / South Africa New Talent Finalist 2021


Mia Crous / South Africa New Talent Finalist 2021


Nicoleen Coetzee / South Africa New Talent Finalist 2021


Now You Can Show The World Your Vision.



IMAGINE

Let your imagination run wild. Envision your collection.

What will you show the world? How will the colors, shapes and textures look? Once you have your vision, assemble your mood board to bring it to life.

Review. Refine. Reimagine. Repeat until you’re satisfied.


CREATE

Find your muse. Assemble your team.

It’s time for you to bring your vision to life.

Be clear. Be focused.

Push yourself and make it big.

Make it great. Make it stand out.


INSPIRE

Now it’s time for you to put your creation out there.

Enter the Global Creative Awards and share your vision with the world. Impress our judges with your collection. Inspire the entire world.
