The Mastercard Foundation is an independent, private foundation headquartered in Canada. Their work, which focuses on Africa, aims to spur prosperity by promoting education and the inclusion of people in financial systems. They are hosting an open call for submissions of Young African Artists artwork, to be licensed for reproduction in print and digital publications, that will communicate the dynamism and diversity of African youth.
Mastercard Foundation invites young visual artists (ages 18–35) who live or do most of their work in Africa to submit examples of their art in response to the following question:
What Do You Hope For African Youth?
Africa is a young and vibrant continent experiencing a major demographic shift. By 2050 it will be home to more than a billion young people, with a workforce larger than that of China and India combined. There is enormous potential in this multi-decade demographic boom and a tremendous challenge. Young African Artists have a unique perspective on Africa’s future. Mastercard Foundation is seeking artwork by Young African Artists that reveals your perspective and captures your vision of living and working on a continent experiencing massive change.
Young African Artists Submission Guidelines
Mastercard Foundation encourages submissions from both emerging and established Young African Artists from diverse backgrounds.
