Ink Painting Showcase Competition

Celebrate the beauty of brushwork, balance, and expression in this Calligraphy & Ink Painting Showcase Competition. Open exclusively to participants of the Ink Painting Workshop, this competition invites artists to submit completed works inspired by the techniques and styles taught during the session. Entries will be judged by the professional ink painting artist leading the workshop.

This competition is designed to reward learning and creativity rather than speed, giving participants the opportunity to apply newly learned skills in a thoughtful and expressive way. By limiting entries to workshop participants, the competition ensures fair access to materials, guidance, and judging consistency—even with limited workshop spaces and equipment.
