About the Competition
The NTD International Figure Painting Competition is part of a global series of arts and culture events presented by New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television, dedicated to promoting time-tested traditions. The competition encourages artistic excellence within the Western oil painting tradition and provides artists with an international platform to showcase their skill, vision, and commitment to the revival of classical and realist painting.

NTD draws inspiration from the noble legacy of China’s Tang Dynasty (618–907 C.E.), widely regarded as a golden age of spiritual and cultural achievement. In that spirit, the competition emphasizes positive ideals such as virtue, compassion, and beauty—values that transcend time and culture.
