The 8th Phnom Penh International Art Competition | November 2, 2025
For the first time, the 8th Phnom Penh International Art Competition will be held in partnership with the Phnom Penh Design Festival, uniting two powerful platforms to celebrate and nurture young creativity. This exciting new collaboration shines a spotlight on the voices of Cambodia’s next generation of artists and designers, and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the country’s growing creative sector. Together, we aim to inspire, connect, and build a more vibrant future through the arts.
The 2025 theme Together invites young artists from kindergarten through college to explore ideas of connection, community, and collaboration. Participants are encouraged to express through their artwork how creativity can build friendships, strengthen communities, and bring people closer both within Cambodia and around the world.
We invite students from kindergarten through college to join the competition and share your creativity with the world. This is your chance to explore new ideas, express your unique perspective, and connect with other young artists across Cambodia. Whether you’re creating for the first time or refining your skills for a future in the arts, your voice matters. Together, let’s celebrate imagination, culture, and the power of art to shape the future.
