International art festival in Chengdu promotes young talents

Young artists and designers from around the world are welcome to submit their works to Renovators OPPO CAMPUS Global Emerging Artists Project, an online contest seeking creative solutions for a future in which people's lives will be even-more integrated with cyber technologies.

Contestants can visit the website, campus.oppo.com, between May 20 and June 30.

A panel of judges, consisting of artists, scholars, designers and entrepreneurs, will select 10 finalists. Winners' works will be exhibited in September.

The contest is part of the ongoing International Youth Art Festival that opened in Sichuan's provincial capital, Chengdu, on May 4. Displays at the newly opened Lake Art Museum and workshops allow young artists and designers to share their ideas and to connect with established artists and potential employers.

The festival also includes an online open course in which teachers from design schools and artists share works and ideas addressing to the COVID-19 pandemic and global cooperation. It's organized by Tsinghua University's China-Italy Design Innovation Hub.
