10 Filipino artists you should care about

The digital age, with its 140 character limitations and emoji-laden conversations, has made it difficult for us to stay focused. A study by Microsoft concluded that the human attention span has shortened from 12 seconds to eight seconds in little more than a decade. We now have a shorter attention span than goldfish.

For those of you still reading this, we congratulate you. And though art depends heavily on the viewer, there’s nothing more rewarding as discovering something that captures your attention, and there’s a variety of talented contemporary artists creating work that will do just that.

The 2019 MullenLowe NOVA Awards Manila engage Filipino visionaries and industry leaders with the goal of supporting emerging talent, creative excellence and innovation. From a shortlist of 10 artists, 6 prizes will be given out: the Grand Prize, two runnersup, two special prizes from our partners, and the YourNOVA ‘People’s Choice’ Award.

The grand prize recipient will receive a short-course scholarship supported by leading art, design and performance college, Central Saint Martins, University of Arts in London.

The 2019 MullenLowe NOVA Awards Manila has been made possible thanks to our partners at Unilever, Meralco, Heineken, WheninManila.com, TMG and MullenLowe Group Philippines.
