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. It is therefore with tremendous regret that PH Attorneys announces that it will no longer continue with the New Breed Art Competition which is terminated with immediate effect.
This decision follows a re-evaluation of the firm's organisational priorities and a realignment of its strategic projects to allow focus on new initiatives that better align with the firm's long-term objectives and new requirements that affect the legal profession and require broader contribution.
We have been proud to fund this competition for many years and extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have supported the competition and to the artists who have showcased the exceptional talent that we have in the Free State. We will continue to monitor and celebrate all of your successes.
For the time being, the New Breed Art website will remain active so that competition winners and artist profiles remain available for public viewing.
