Everyone’s Vision Petron is a competition for photographers,
painters and designers. It is also a venue for filmmakers, musicians,
performance artists, art enthusiasts, and all Filipinos to converge and be one
through their shared love for Philippine art and culture. Themed Lakbay Kalikasan —A Journey of Nuturing Nature, this
year’s competition focuses on the different ways of caring for and protecting
the environment. Samples may be seen in Petron's own efforts to protect our
biodiversity through coastal management, reforestation, mangrove planting,
creating fish sanctuaries and artificial reefs, and protecting sea turtles.
Petron believes that everyone has his/her own unique
perspective on things and that this uniqueness can be expressed in so many
different ways. This is the inspiration
behind Everyone’s Vision Petron — the belief that free artistic expression
remains intrinsic to nation-building. Everyone’s Vision Petron is open to all talented students
enrolled in a regular university or college course, or in tutorial art and
photography classes. Participants must
be Filipino and ages 15-28 years old. Student artists may compete in three
categories: Painting (oil and
water-based media), photography, and print-making (production of printed images
on paper).
