2022 - 2023
MARICOPA COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGES
ARTISTS OF PROMISE Competitions
Sharing your creative ability is about more than self expression. It's also an opportunity to refine your work, overcome self-doubt, and build community. The Artists of Promise (AOP) Competitions are an annual showcase of student talent, from Phoenix College, and across the District.
Earn Recognition Across Seven Categories
Best-in-Show entries will be announced publicly at this spring's Artists of Promise Gala. Select entrants may be invited to perform, or display, their work at the Gala. AOP Competitions are juried by faculty, and open to MCCCD students only. Instructors, full-time or adjunct, who are also enrolled as students are ineligible to compete.
Deadlines, entry procedures, and potential winnings are updated annually, and can differ by category, or subcategory. Click on the blue button to review MCCCD rules pages—they provide essential details for each discipline.
