WINTER'S MUSE" GLOBAL FACE PAINTING ART CONTEST >>> ANNOUNCEMENT
"WINTER'S MUSE" GLOBAL FACE PAINTING ART CONTEST
ANNOUNCEMENT
The "Winter's Muse" Global Face Painting Art Contest is ANKA BELLA's latest heartfelt tribute to the international face painting community—a grand artistic celebration open to all. Inspired by four major winter holidays—Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year—this year's contest invites artists worldwide to use the face as their canvas, mapping a philosophical journey from demise to rebirth.
Through every stroke and hue, we transcend the surface of realism to question the very essence of life. Let art become a light shining into reality—guiding us to gaze steadily at hardship while looking up toward renewal, to examine the present while building the future, all amid the depth of winter.
The competition is structured around four themed contest groups following the winter chronology: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's celebrations. The ANKA BELLA Tournament Jury will select the most creative works from each group and present the Theme Awards to honor their brilliance.

Beauty grows when shared, and endures through echo.
To honor every contestant courageous enough to express themselves, this year’s contest specially introduces 10,000 “Beauty Echo” awards, celebrating the virtue of spreading art.
Independent of the themed competitions, this award invites you to share your work on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook with the designated hashtag.
Once your entry gathers 36 likes, you’ll receive this honor shared among ten thousand participants.
"The Quest for the World's Most Beautiful Face Art Photo."
To help face painting art break beyond traditional boundaries, this year's contest proudly introduces the "BEAUTY CROWN" award—inviting everyone outside the professional circle to shine!
No matter where you are from, if you have face painting designs on, you are welcome to capture your moment with a phone or camera and join this global quest for beauty.
The ANKA BELLA Judging Committee, together with input from online audiences, will select six winners with the most compelling expression.
The key to victory lies in: How seamlessly expression, pose, and face painting blend into one.
Winners will not only receive $100 cash prize, but also be shortlisted as candidates for the ANKA BELLA Everyday Ambassador Program.
Selected ambassadors may secure an annual collaboration worth $500–$3,000.
Step from the crowd into the spotlight!
Winter has descended, and all things fall silent in anticipation of rebirth. We envision every face becoming a canvas reflecting the philosophy of life—where the flow of colors and the interplay of light and shadow converge into a borderless rite of art.
May this contest not only offer a visual tribute to the depth of winter, but also become the first light illuminating the resilience of life—witnessing, at the extreme of cold, the emergence of spring from stillness, and the renewal of all things.
