THU Golden Ticket Challenge 2019: Desirable Future

Tickets for the Trojan Horse was a Unicorn 2019 Festival are selling fast and soon there will be only two ways to secure a ticket to the event in Malta—the Trojan Horse was a Unicorn’s Golden Ticket Challenge. ArtStation and THU are giving two tickets to THU 2019 to the winners in the Professional and Student categories of the THU Golden Ticket Challenge along with a round-trip airfare, food and accommodation, THU goodies and an ArtStation Pro subscription.

The Professional Challenge is aimed at artists who are no longer students and would like to be a part of the THU experience!

If you’re a recent graduate or student enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education between January 2018 – September 2019, the Student Challenge is for you! *

The theme of the challenge is Desirable Future, and the goal of the challenge is to foster community-based learning, to celebrate artists’ achievements and to give young artists the tools they need to start their careers. The THU judging panel includes: Marc Simonetti, Virginie Bourdin, Shuzo John Shiota, Alexander Mankowsky and Vera Schmidt.

The brief for the challenge has been posted and the deadline for final submissions is August 5, 2019.
