About the event
Call for Young Artists and Authors
The 2022 Young Artists and Authors Showcase (YAAS) by Sister Cities International (SCI) is open for submissions!
Sister Cities International and Jacksonville Sister Cities Association aim to promote Peace through Mutual Respect, Understanding, and Cooperation – one individual, one community at a time. Sister Cities International and its local affiliate JSCA are pleased to highlight the power of art to transform societies and transcend cultural boundaries through the annual Young Artists and Authors Showcase (YAAS). This contest has provided youth worldwide with the opportunity to express their vision for a more unified, peaceful world through original art, literature, music, and photography.
The theme for this year’s event is "Generation Rescue: Sustainable Water for All".
All submissions must be made through JSCA and are due by March 15, 2022, 11:59 P.M. EDT. The top five in each category will continue to the SCI global showcase.
