The National Art Competition (NAC) is an annual art competition organized by African Artists' Foundation (AAF) and proudly sponsored by Nigerian Breweries Plc.
Since its inception in 2008, NAC has sought to unite artists and society through the interpretation of crucial themes proposed in each year's call for entries, succeeding in empowering young artists and developing talent in Nigeria.
Accordingly, this year's theme 'Interventions' explores how contemporary art serves as a catalyst for positive social change, engaging artists to think about their relationship to the social, political, and cultural framework of the society that they live in.
As contemporary art is inherently an avenue for audiences to analyze and begin a dialogue about issues relevant to their present day, artists are asked to create work that will spark public discourse and make a difference in their local communities.
Whether engaging public space with site-specific interventions, or using the artwork itself as the communication agent, how can art impact society? What is the role of the artist in the twenty-first century, and what can art achieve?

Winner Outstanding Production: N1,000,000
