We're publishing the first 5 themes chosen for @artguildph contests! It's going to be all about Nationalism. We're gonna base our themes on Philippines' National Symbols. We're going to pick the simplest from this source: National Symbols of the Philippines - Wikipedia.

Again, this contest is open to anyone who loves art and wants to join. You can prepare your entries ahead of time but do not post them before we announce that certain theme through a contest post. Any medium of art will be allowed. Symbolism is accepted as long as it's relevant.
