Painting Competition 2012 held by UOB

UOB Painting Of The Year Competition

This year marks the 31st year UOB has conducted the annual UOB Painting Of The Year (POY) Competition which has been an important launch pad in the careers of many past winners including Cultural Medallion winners Goh Beng Kwan, Chua Ek Kay and Anthony Poon.

The UOB POY Competition has expanded to be a regional event, and is currently held in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The winning work from each of the regional countries will be exhibited alongside all the winning works from the Singapore UOB POY Competition. In addition, each country winner is eligible to compete for the grand regional prize of S$5,000 cash, awarded to one of the country UOB POY Competition winners.

UOB has been supporting the arts since the early 1970s. The Bank believes that as economic advancement is of great importance to a nation, so too can the arts play a vital role in the development of a society. Although the worlds of business and the arts are often seen as separate, the Bank view both as sources of inspiration and ideas that can enrich the lives of people.
