SHELL Pilipinas Corporation is inviting college students nationwide to participate in the 58th Shell National Students Art Competition, themed “ALAB.”

Young Filipino artists are encouraged to submit works that express their convictions, cultural reflections, and emotional truths. Entries will be accepted until October 6, 2025.

This year’s theme, ALAB, invites students to reflect on the spark that ignites their creativity—exploring purpose, passion, and identity through honest, powerful expression rooted in personal or cultural experience.

The competition is open to all currently enrolled college students in the Philippines. Participants must be taking at least nine academic units in the academic year 2024–2026, or be graduates from AY 2024–2025 who were enrolled during the creation of their artwork.

Students may submit entries in any of the five categories: Oil/Acrylic Painting, Watercolor, Sculpture, Digital Fine Arts, and Photography. A maximum of two entries per category is allowed, with each submission registered individually.

Final judging will take place from November 11 to 12, and winners will be announced on December 5, 2025, during the awards and exhibit ceremony.

Full mechanics and registration details are available at www.shell.com.ph/nsac.
