The annual Jose T. Joya Awards is now accepting submissions as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The Jose T. Joya Awards is an annual art competition named after Filipino National Artist and pioneer of abstract art Jose T. Joya.

Joya helped build the Fine Arts program at UP Cebu in 1975 and launched the painting competition in 1977 to support young local talents.
