In Focus is an international art contest hosted annually by World in Focus, attracting talented participants from across the globe, including countries such as Canada, the United States, Peru, South Korea, and India. Over the past eight years, the contest has grown steadily, and our team has been privileged to receive more than 650 outstanding submissions from over 50 countries. Through the In Focus contest, we aim to raise awareness about vision and eye care through the medium of art.
See past submissions and winners of the In Focus competition HERE:https://www.worldinfocus.ca/past-in-focus-winners
This year's contest is divided into two age groups: 10-14 (elementary school) and 15-18 (high school). Each age group will have three options for their arts forms, either writing, photography, or visual art based on one of the three following prompts:
- "Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." - Jonathan Swift
- If your eyesight could tell its story, what would it show?
- What does vision mean to you?
Please follow the rules in the rulebook below:
