Entries for 2015 Sasol New Signatures competition now open

Entries are now open for the 2015 Sasol New Signatures competition. Under the theme, 'Eye for Potential', Sasol is challenging emerging South African artists who have the ability to see beyond what the naked eye can see, to create art works and launch their careers. The overall winner receives a R100,000 cash prize, the runner up R25,000, with five merit winners each receiving R10,000.

Artists who believe they have what it takes to make an impact in the industry are encouraged to submit artworks at one of several collection points around the country on 14-15 July 2015. Several information sessions, designed to give artists valuable information on the entry process, will be held nationwide from early May.

Group Sponsorship Manager for Sasol, Richard Hughes, says as a business, the company believes in the inherent potential that lies within South Africans. "We have seen this in the remarkable entries we've showcased over the years from artists of all disciplines and ages. Sasol New Signatures has left an incredible legacy in the pages of South Africa's art history. We are pleased to have helped launch the careers of all our finalists, merit award winners, runner ups and winners and look forward to seeing their continued growth."

Artists looking for a gateway into the pages of South Africa's art history, a platform to display their potential, having their work celebrated on a national stage should start preparing their pieces for submission and make their artistic signature known.
