Art to serve.
Creative Project Competition
Unleash your imagination! Participants craft unique artistic visions, exploring how art can make the world a better, more beautiful place. This challenge sparks young people's creativity and social consciousness, while opening doors to international recognition.
This competition is designed and provided by University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna (MdW) - Artistic Research Centre (ARC).
Who are we?
As university teachers and artists active in Vienna, we never underestimate the creative potential of children! Every summer, we host the iKultLab - Innovative Music Camp in Austria, where children from Europe and Asia study, live, and unlock their potential together!
Yet, we aspire to connect with even more children worldwide. Thus, a spark of inspiration: we’re launching an ensemble competition and a creative proposal contest, with Hong Kong—a vibrant fusion of Eastern and Western cultures—as the coordinating hub. We sincerely invite you to join and showcase your musical artistry and creativity!
