New Breed Art Competition to make way for new initiatives

Since its inception in 2016, the New Breed Art Competition has had a tremendous impact on Free State artists and the art community at large, contributing not only through exposure and prize money to competition artists but also through public workshops, artist mentorship and partnerships with key art organisations in the Free State.

Celebrating creativity, honouring legacy

The New Breed Art Competition, established in 2016 by Bloemfontein law firm PH Attorneys, was a unique visual arts competition dedicated to discovering and celebrating Free State artists. For eight years, it provided a platform for emerging talent to gain national exposure, challenge perceptions, and showcase the power of creativity. Rooted in PH Attorneys’ passion for excellence, the competition honoured art as a universal language that pushes boundaries and inspires evolution. While the competition has now concluded, its legacy lives on in the artists it has empowered and the vibrant creative community it has helped shape.
