KFC Ghana has unveiled an exciting new initiative to celebrate the nation’s vibrant art scene. The KFC Art Competition invites talented Ghanaian artists to submit original works inspired by local themes, landmarks, and flavors for a chance to win cash prizes, a year of free KFC meals, and the prestigious opportunity to have their artwork displayed in KFC stores across the country.
The competition opened for submissions from the 13th of April and will remain open until 7th May 2025, giving artists four weeks to send in their entries.
Accepted formats include paintings, drawings, sketches, graffiti, and sculptures – all of which should reflect Ghanaian culture and lifestyle. Bonus consideration will be given to pieces that incorporate landmarks near KFC locations, creating a unique connection between the art and the brand’s presence in local communities.
To enter, participants must submit high-resolution images of their artwork along with an artist profile via Google Drive to [email protected].
The selection process will feature two exciting phases: first, the competition committee will shortlist public will vote on KFC Ghana’s the Top 10 artworks, then a Top 5 will be selected by popular vote via KFC Ghana’s social media pages. These finalists will then be judged by a panel of art industry experts who will determine the Top 3 winners.
The winning artists will be announced in June 2025, with their work featured in KFC locations nationwide throughout the year. Beyond the grand prizes, the competition offers all participants valuable exposure, as KFC Ghana plans to highlight submissions across its digital platforms.
Derick Darko, Marketing Manager of KFC Ghana, shared his enthusiasm for the project: “This competition is more than just an art showcase – it’s a celebration of Ghana’s creative spirit. We’re proud to provide a national platform that elevates local talent while bringing art and community together in our restaurants.”
Art enthusiasts and aspiring participants are encouraged to follow KFC Ghana’s official social media channels for competition updates and to witness the incredible talent on display. With its unique blend of cultural celebration and brand engagement, the KFC Art Competition promises to be a landmark event in Ghana’s art calendar this year.
