The design competition is free to enter for everyone – from amateurs to professionals - as long as your creation falls under the overall theme of Explore Beyond Limits.
The Asus ProArtist Awards 2022 are organised by Asus, a lineup of creativity-led brands and the California-based ArtCenter College of Design. The competition is intended to encourage and inspire creators in the four competition categories of photography, graphic design, film, and animation.
More than anything, it serves as a free platform for enthusiasts and professionals of all ages from all countries to celebrate their limitless creativity.
Submissions will be closely evaluated by an international panel consisting of renowned content creators, industry professionals, Asus ProArtists and Asus experts. To give the wider public a voice, the jury panel will award 80% of the final score and public votes will comprise the remaining 20%.
A winner and a runner-up will be chosen for each of the four categories. Prizes will consist of cash, Asus creator hardware, free global online publicity and a chance to collaborate on Asus design projects. As a bonus prize, Asus will offer an NFT listing-fee rebate.
There will also be a People's Choice Award in each category based on public voting, as well as great lucky draw prizes for contestants and public voters.
The total value of prizes for the Asus ProArtist Awards 2022 is over $100,000 , with a cash prize for each of the four category winners of $10,000, and $5,000 for each of the four runners-up.
It's important to note that the NFT listing is optional.
