Jubilee Life Insurance Launches Live Free Art Competition for Ugandan Primary School Pupils.
Jubilee Life Insurance is proud to announce the launch of the 2023 edition of its highly anticipated “Live Free Art Competition.” Themed “Celebrating Jubilant Moments,” this innovative competition is set to ignite the creative spirit of primary school pupils across Uganda. As part of their commitment to promoting education and the arts, Jubilee Life Insurance offers participants a chance to win full education scholarships worth UGX 150 million.
Building upon the resounding success of the previous year, which saw an impressive 3,000 submissions, this year’s competition invites primary school pupils from Primary One to Primary Six to unleash their artistic talents. Pupils are encouraged to explore a variety of artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, collage, and mixed media. The competition’s inclusive approach allows participants to utilize materials such as watercolors, colored pencils, crayons, charcoal, ink, or other locally available resources for their artworks.
At the launch event, Ms. Dorcus Namara, Chief Operating Officer at Jubilee Life Insurance, highlighted the essential role of art in the development of young minds and the refinement of fine motor skills.
“We are excited to introduce the third edition of the Jubilee Live Free Art Competition. We believe art plays a vital role in nurturing cognitive abilities such as creativity, problem-solving, logical reasoning, and self-expression in young learners. This competition empowers the youth across Uganda, enabling them to showcase their artistic talents and gain well-deserved recognition,” Ms. Namara said.
Mr. Rogers Nambuli, the Head Teacher of Nakasero Primary School, emphasized the alignment of the art competition with the school’s vision of fostering an academic environment that promotes art and extra-curricular programs.
“We believe learners should thrive in an educational environment that facilitates their growth as well-rounded individuals. Jubilee Life Insurance’s art competition promises to inspire young artists from diverse regions of Uganda, nurturing their visual literacy while providing a platform for their boundless imagination. Our pupils are excited to be part of this captivating initiative. I call upon teachers, parents, and the community at large to wholeheartedly support and encourage our young pupils to participate in this competition,” Mr. Nambuli said.
To participate in this enriching opportunity, interested pupils must submit their artwork and a duly completed entry form to the company’s head office between November 24, 2023, and Friday, December 8, 2023.
A panel of judges, consisting of experienced art educators and creative professionals, will evaluate submissions based on criteria such as creativity, originality, technique, and artistic clarity. To ensure a fair assessment, the competition will be divided into two categories: Primary One to Four and Primary Five to Six pupils.
The competition will culminate in a special awards ceremony celebrating exceptional artwork and honoring the talent of the top 200 students. These young achievers will receive primary school education scholarships and the opportunity to participate in the company’s mentorship program.
The 2023 “Live Free Art Competition” promises to be an exciting journey of self-expression, creativity, and a celebration of jubilant moments for primary school pupils across Uganda. Jubilee Life Insurance’s commitment to education and the arts continues to provide a platform for young minds to flourish.
