#LoveArtsAward15 competition
To enter the competition you just need to take a picture or create a 15 second video or audio clip showing why you love art...
Arts Award has been supporting young people to develop their creativity and leadership for 15 years. 500,000 awards have been achieved in over 4,000 centres across the UK. Arts Award has inspired young artists, nurtured talent and offered insights into the arts world, together with a taste of creative careers.
To celebrate Arts Award's 15th birthday we're running a competition to find your creative responses to #LoveArtsAward15! Get your paints, cameras, voices or dancing feet ready and show us your love for art.
The competition brief
Step one: Create your art
Tell us in any art form why you love art! What does it mean to you? How does it make you feel? What does it add to your life? You could create a painting, write a monologue, make a short film, build a sculpture, create an animation, choreograph a dance, write a poem, or anything that takes your fancy. As long as it's creative and it shows your passion, go for it!

Step two: Share your art
Showcase your love of art in 15 seconds! To enter the competition we want to see a 15-second snippet of your creative response shared on Twitter or Instagram. This could be a video or audio recording, and it doesn't have to be fancy. You can record on a phone, computer, straight into Instagram, whatever it takes to share your art publicly.
Don't forget to tag @Voicemaguk on Twitter or Instagram and use the #LoveArtsAward15 or your entry won't be counted.
You have between 1 September and 15 November to enter the competition on Instagram or Twitter and be in with a chance of winning a £50 voucher!
To enter the competition:
- Participate on Instagram or Twitter between 1 September and 15 November
- Share a 15-second snippet of your artwork on Twitter or Instagram (can be a video, audio or moving photo collage of your created artwork)
