TEHRAN – The Damonfar Visual Arts Festival will choose works by Iranian students aged 16 or above to compete in the Winsor & Newton Student Painting Competition.

“The competition will be held in two national and international levels on the theme of self-portrait,” Damonfar president Seifollah Puya-Rad said in a press release on Tuesday.

Interested applicants have been asked to submit a copy of their works created with Winsor & Newton (W&N) products before November 6.

The top work will be selected by a jury panel of three members whose names will later be announced.

A text containing the resume and the wishes and dreams of the artist is also required to be attached to the painting.

The Iranian top winner will win $500 worth of W&N products.

All the top winners from different countries will be competing in the final competition in London. 

The final winner will have a three-day trip to England along with a companion and will pay a visit to the Winsor & Newton Headquarters in London.
