Cash PrizeSince starting out in 2006, the London International Creative Competition has been recognising and rewarding the world’s most fresh and progressive creative talents. Our artists and designers are connected not by conventions, but by qualities. They work across a diverse range of formats, genres and industries, creating stunning and essential works of art in their respective fields. We’re not looking for anything done by-the-book. We’re looking for work that is as visual as it is vital.
LICC is the brainchild of two artists, Launa Bacon and Hossein Farmani, for Farmani Group.
