WHAT WE DO
WHY WE DO
The Global AI Creative Award is an international creative competition organised by the UK Young Artists Association for young creators worldwide.
The award invites participants to create original works that combine AI, artistic imagination, and social value. Submissions should respond to one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including climate action, environmental protection, ocean conservation, sustainable cities, education, equality, technology, and the future of society.
The competition does not require every artwork to be created entirely by AI. Instead, it recognises AI as a creative tool that can support idea development, image generation, digital enhancement, mixed-media production, and new forms of visual storytelling
