The XC Creative Art Contest (XCAC) is an international, cross-disciplinary art competition open to students in grades 6–12. Organized by the NextGen InterArts Foundation, XCAC celebrates originality, creative thinking, and artistic expression across a wide range of mediums. The contest encourages students to think outside the box, connect ideas from diverse perspectives, and solve problems in creative ways—skills they’ll need to adapt and learn quickly in a fast-changing world.
