Portrait Society of Canada

2014 Canadian Young Artist Portrait Competition.

The Young Artist Competition in fine art portraiture is an on-line competition and is open to all Canadian visual young artists between the ages of 8-18.

"I was privileged to see the development and rising quality of the young generation of artists over these last few years. I see the progress, tremendous discipline and keen observation combined with creativity and imagination .I am honoured to have been a judge for the Competition and I apologize to those who have not won this year. The choice was really hard and there simply wasn't enough awards for all those who deserve the recognition. I love you all, my future colleagues and explorers of this wonderful world of arts. Never give up your sacred light!" Irena Korosec
“The quality of our talented young artists was amazing. To demonstrate such creativity and visual acuity coupled with technical capability is truly unusual at the beginning of one’s artistic journey. Faced with such talent, the job of being a juror was very difficult. I applaud each and every artist that sent in the best of their works. They are all winners."Jean Harding
"It is an honour to judge these competitions for the Portrait Society of Canada. The quality of the work never fails to impress me. The art of the portrait will live on through these kids and youth. I encourage you all to continue drawing and painting. Observe. Create. It is a wonderful world that you are privy to. Congratulations to you all!”Jane Kavanagh
“It’s a pleasure to see young talents , wishing you all great success and lots of amaizing ideas. Keep creating masterpieces and become the most famous artist of our time”. Veronica Kvassetskaia Tsyglan
