About GYCA
About GYCA
An international competition for young creators.
Vision & Mission
An international competition built on fair judging and real stages.
GYCA is about more than winning a prize. Depending on the competition, that experience can reach beyond borders — connecting young creators internationally and taking them abroad together to exhibit their work and take part in non-profit activities. And because every entry is judged fairly by field experts against clear, published criteria, what we want to leave behind isn't a certificate, but the real experience of meeting the world through your own work.
