The Banksy Competition, to showcase undiscovered South African creative talent, was launched August 2010 as a collaboration including Learning Curve, Adobe and one small seed. The winners have now been announced, each chosen because his/her artwork stood out for having delivered a powerful message and one for conveying an issue significant to today's cultural socio-political and economic climate.
