The National Art Gallery’s Young Contemporaries Awards, or Bakat Muda Sezaman (BMS) 2021, is inviting the public to vote for their favourite art installation works in two categories here: Visitors’ Choice Online and Visitor’s Choice On Site.

“The BMS21 participants created art during a rather challenging time. Not only were we in the midst of a pandemic, but the (recent) heavy rain and floods in several states across the country destroyed several art installations last month. However, most of these works had previously been documented by the BMS team,” according to the National Art Gallery.
