International Art Competitions
Every three years, Latter-day Saint artists from around the world are encouraged to participate in a theme-based competition hosted by the Church History Museum.
The purpose of this competition is, first, to showcase the breadth and diversity of Latter-day Saint artists and, second, to help develop the Church History Museum art collection through purchase awards. In fact, many well-beloved pieces of Latter-day Saint artwork have come from these competitions.
For each competition, artworks selected by a jury are exhibited at the museum and are eligible to receive one of several awards, including purchase awards. Through these awards, the museum expands its collection by purchasing a select number of artworks from those exhibited.
