UN75 ONLINE SPOKEN WORD POETRY & PAINTING COMPETITION
The United Nations (UN) is 75 years this year. To mark this milestone, the National Centre for Arts and Culture (NCAC) in partnership with UN Gambia is organizing a national competition for writers and fine artists. This competition presents a unique opportunity to share one’s vision of the future using the hashtag #TheGambiaWeWantToSeeIn2045. Selected finalists will be produced and aired on radio and television as well as on social media on the UN The Gambia handles and sister agencies.
This activity is being done in partnership with the Writers Association of The Gambia (WAG) and the Virtual Arts Association of The Gambia (VAAG).
The NCAC believes that this activity will help to support Gambian artists during the coronavirus pandemic, through engaging them as judges, or as participants, and cash prize winners.
The Director General NCAC, Mr. Hassoum Ceesay, believes that the activity is NCAC’s proactive response to support Gambian artists during these trying times.
