Sining Filipina, the Philippines’ first nationwide, all-women art competition, is back! Now on its second year, it has taken on the theme “Her Earth, Her Future.” The competition’s 2025 edition encourages artists to showcase their own interpretations of women leading the way in sustainability. Sining Filipina empowers women artists by providing them with a platform to express their creativity and spotlight their art as catalysts for social change.

The deadline for all entries is 13 February. Artists may opt to submit their original paintings in oil, acrylic, or mixed media, and in sizes 2ft by 3ft or 3ft by 3ft.
Sining Filipina is presented by SM Supermalls and Chinabank, with the support of Airspeed for the benefit of the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs.
