Since 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.

Farmani Group is a leading organization curating and promoting photography, design and architecture across the globe since 1985. Hossein Farmani is the founder of two non-profit organizations “The Lucie Awards” and “Focus on AIDS” as well as the award-winning VUE magazine, International Photography Awards, Px3 (Prix de la Photographie de Paris), Art For New York, aNet Communications and more.

Winning LICC is an exciting opportunity, and an incredible building block for a career in design and the arts. Every year our panel of established creative luminaries evaluate thousands of exceptional entries across multiple design disciplines. Never has there been such a seamless Segway into the forefront of the global art and design community. LICC brings together the most cutting-edge and innovative artists and designers from around the world onto a single international platform.

The Annual London International Creative Competition winners will receive a cash prizes of $1,500 in the Professional Categories, and $1,000 in the Amateur/Student Categories, along with the Category Title and Trophy in their respective Discipline.
