More still on Montblanc Young Artist Program

So when is the next submission date and when will Singapore become one of the participating countries again?

At this stage, there are no immediate indications as to when Montblanc HQ would put Singapore in the countries selection list again - given the fact that we've got Singaporean winner, Justin Lee's artwork for 2007.

I will inform you on any developments in the future once I receive news.

Have a wonderful evening.

Warmest Regards,
Valerie

More info about Montblanc Young Artist World Patronage

This unique project, created by Montblanc in 2004, gives young and upcoming artists the platform to present their name and talent to a broader public and the international art scene in particular.

The concept is to have more than 330 Montblanc boutiques worldwide act as a gallery and exhibit simultaneously for a single artist with one particular artwork for a period of almost 6 weeks. The common theme for the artworks is the creative interpretation of the world famous Montblanc star.

The individual "star"-works are reproduced and exhibited in the Montblanc boutique windows. The original artworks became and will become part of the Montblanc "Cutting Edge Art Collection" - one of the various Montblanc initiatives to support contemporary art and demonstrate the brand's commitment and contribution to art and culture.

Since 2004 Montblanc presented 18 young artists from all over the world. The selection of the artists and artworks took place together with reputed experts from the international arts & cultural scene.

Every year, Montblanc HQ will select different countries, which has Montblanc boutique retail presence, to participate in this project. The participating countries will then call for submission of works from local artists and submit the best 3 artworks to Montblanc HQ & their international panel of judges, for their final decisions by early November.
