UOB has been supporting the arts since the early 1970s. The Bank believes that an
awareness and appreciation of the Arts can inject vibrancy and contribute to the uplifting
of a society. Chief among its efforts is the UOB POY Competition which has become a
significant event in the arts calendar in Singapore.
Through the UOB POY Competition, UOB aims to promote a greater interest in local art,
further encourage artists in their creative endeavours and provide a platform to
recognise and exhibit the best creative works.
The UOB POY Competition was launched in 1982 in Singapore and has been held
annually since. 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of this premiere art event in Singapore,
while UOB Thai held the UOB POY Competition for the first time in 2010.
In conjunction with the expansion into the region, UOB has reaffirmed the original intent
of the UOB POY Competition by refocusing on paintings as an art form. This year, the
UOB POY Competition will not include a photography category. The minimum age of
participation has also increased to 13 to streamline the selection process and
concentrate the efforts on more mature works.
Said Mr Choo Thiam Siew, Chief Judge for this year’s POY Competition Judging Panel,
“The UOB POY Competition has been an institution in the Singapore arts scene for 30
2
years. Painting is a diverse and sophisticated art form and allows an artist to be able to
express the range of his ideas and talents. By concentrating solely on painting, UOB is
returning to the essence of the POY Competition, in keeping with what the name
suggests.“
The Painting Of The Year winner from each UOB POY Competition across the region
will be invited to the Singapore Awards Ceremony where their work will be exhibited
alongside all the winning works from the Singapore UOB POY Competition. In addition,
a Special Mention Prize, comprising S$5,000 cash, will be awarded to one of the country
UOB POY Competition winners.
Mr Wee Ee Cheong, UOB’s Deputy Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer said,
“As we hit the 30-year milestone for the UOB POY Competition, we remain committed to
our support for the Arts, which we believe play a vital role in society. We are pleased to
extend the UOB POY Competition beyond Singapore to the regional communities where
we operate, starting with Thailand and now Malaysia and Indonesia. We aim to broaden
the avenues for local artists to compete on a regional platform, and facilitate crosscultural
exchanges.”
The UOB POY Competition is open to Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents,
Employment Pass, Work Permit, Student Pass, Dependent’s Pass and Long Term Visit
Pass holders, born in or before 1998.

The UOB Painting Of The Year Competition And Exhibition
Fact Sheet
1. Introduction
The United Overseas Bank (UOB) Painting Of The Year (POY) Competition was
launched in March 1982 and has been held annually since. The year 2011
marks the 30th year of this premier visual arts event in Singapore.
2. Objectives
The main objectives of the UOB POY Competition are to:
• Promote greater interest in local art;
• Encourage local artists to persist in their creative endeavours; and
• Provide recognition for the best creative works.
3. History & Development
Since 1973, the UOB Group has been supporting budding local artists by
selectively purchasing their works of art. Through this purchase-support
programme, the Group has, to date, acquired a large collection of artworks
totalling more than 1,500 pieces. These paintings are displayed at the Group's
Head Office as well as at its more than 500 global offices
The UOB POY Competition is an extension of the Group's patronage of the arts.
For its contribution to the arts, UOB was conferred the “Distinguished Patron of
the Arts” award by the Singapore National Arts Council for six consecutive years
from 2005 to 2010.
The first UOB POY Competition - held in 1982 - was jointly organised by the
UOB Group and the then Ministry of Culture (now called the Ministry of
Information, Communications and the Arts.)
Since 1983, the UOB POY competition has been the sole effort of the UOB
Group.
4. Structure of the POY Competition
Since its launch in 1982, the format of the UOB POY Competition has undergone
various changes. These changes, recommended by the panel of judges, were
introduced to enhance the quality and prestige of the Competition.
• 1982: The first UOB POY Competition was divided into two sections - an
Open Section and a Young People's Section.
• 1983: The UOB POY Competition was reduced to one section - the Open
Section.
• 1984: The UOB POY Competition was divided into three categories –
Abstract Medium, Representational Medium and Traditional Chinese Medium
– to attract participation from the widest range of artists.
• 1991: The UOB POY Competition was again divided into two sections - an
Open Section and a Junior Section. .
• 2003: A new photography category was added to the existing three, bringing
the total number of categories to four.
6
• 2006: The Junior Section was further expanded into two separate categories
– the Youth Section for participants aged 13 to 18, and the Junior Section for
those aged 6 to 12.
• 2008: The prize money for the Painting Of The Year was increased to
$30,000. This is accompanied by increases in the prizes for the other awards.
• 2009: A partnership was formed with the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (FAAM),
where the winner of the Painting Of The Year award will attend a one-month
residence programme at the FAAM, sponsored fully by UOB. In addition, four
Platinum Awards, open to artists across all the four categories (Abstract,
Representational, Traditional Chinese and Photography), replaced the Open
Section Category Awards which were restricted to participants within each
category.
• 2010: For the first time ever, UOB took the Competition beyond Singapore to
Bangkok, Thailand. The UOB (Thai) Painting Of The Year Competition,
modelled after Singapore, aims to recognise artists and acknowledge the
best creative works in Thailand.
• 2011: The Competition was expanded to Malaysia and Indonesia.
5. Judges
Each year, the entries are judged by a panel of judges comprising renowned
artists/art connoisseurs/art curators who are specially appointed by the UOB
Group Art Committee. The panel includes prominent personalities from overseas
to ensure objectivity in the judging.
6. UOB Painting Of The Year Exhibition
Each year, the award-winning and highly-commended paintings from the
Competition are displayed at the UOB POY Exhibition. The aim of the Exhibition

Since 1985, the UOB Group has also concurrently staged a special exhibition
featuring works by the winner of the preceding year’s UOB POY Competition at
the Exhibition. The Group hopes to help local artists gain more recognition for
their works and inspire them to achieve even higher standards through such
sponsorships.
In 2007, UOB presented an exhibition called The Best Of UOB in conjunction
with the Singapore Arts Show 2007, where the top painting from the first 26 UOB
POY Competitions were showcased. The winning works from 2001 to 2010 were
also exhibited at the ArtSingapore 2010.
7. Premier Event Status
The success of the UOB POY Competition can be seen by indicators as the good
response over the last 29 years, the high standard of styles and mediums
adopted, the extensive publicity enjoyed by the winners, and the wide recognition
gained by the participating artists as a result of winning the Competition.
The UOB POY Exhibition was included as a Fringe Event in the inaugural
Singapore Biennale 2006, a cultural event that showcased international
contemporary art.

the 2 winners at UOB Painting of the Year competition 2010
SINGAPORE: This year's UOB Painting of the Year competition saw two winners. That's because the event, its 29th year, was extended to Thailand.
The painting titled "Open New Sky" was the winner from Thailand.
21-year-old artist Pannaphan Yotmani from the renowned Silpakorn University, beat 120 others for the honour.
She won for herself a cash prize of 100,000 baht or S$4,289.35.
18-year-old Bai TianYuan won the Singapore competition with this entry titled "What".
The Raffles Junior College student beat 660 others for the S$30,000 cash prize.
The winning entries, along with 15 others, are on display at the Esplanade till July 25 2010.
TianYuan's piece is a self-portrait with a frustrated expression, resulting from the sense of loss and confusion when an artist has a mental block.
But she said frustration does not hinder the art.
She said: "The frustration and the struggle that you may face during the decision-making, the art making process is actually very essential to create good artworks. And I think the passion for it is really able to sustain you to continue doing art." - CNA/vm
