The Shift Calendar Competition started in 2003 with an aim to discover fresh creators by SHIFT. For the 8th competition of this year we have received 1,623 entries
from 35 countries. 12 carefully selected works will decorate each month of the Shift calendar, which will be on sale from October 1st and appeared in shops and
galleries around the world.
Taking as an important role in making opportunities for worldwide creators to extend the stage for their activities, Shift calendar competition has delivered a number of
visual works through these 8 years and the number of them counts 96 works. We believe the calendar competition will take many creators to various places where they
can meet and discover, and will outspread the circle of creation derived from there.
It is time for seeds to begin to sprout for 2011. Enjoy the 12 visual works selected for the calendar created by artists and designers who are waiting to be flowered.
