The highly anticipated creative platform “Nirobotay Kollorob 7.0” is set to return this year on a much larger scale, expanding into a national-level event. The key highlights include the EKPHORIA Art & Photography Exhibition and a Live T-Shirt/Tote Bag Painting Contest.
The event, organized by ARTex, will take place on April 30, 2026, at the Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) campus, bringing together students from universities and colleges across the country.
The EKPHORIA exhibition will feature multiple categories, including mobile and camera photography, painting, sketch, abstract art, digital art, doodle & mandala, and calligraphy. From all submissions, a jury panel will select the top 40 artworks for final exhibition, offering participants a prestigious platform to showcase their creativity.Selected works will be professionally framed and displayed, while winners in each category will receive attractive prizes and certificates.
In addition, the Live T-Shirt/Tote Bag Painting Contest will be held on the same day, where participants will demonstrate their artistic skills in real time. All artworks from the live contest will also be showcased in the exhibition.
Adding to the excitement, this year’s event will feature a FIFA World Cup-themed wall graffiti, along with vibrant segments like T-shirt activations, flash mobs, cultural performances, and a concert.
The exhibition submission deadline is April 14, 2026, while registration for the live T-shirt/tote bag painting contest will remain open until April 23, 2026, with organizers urging interested participants to complete their entries within the stipulated timeframe.
Organizers emphasize that this is more than just a competition—it is a national platform for young creatives to gain recognition and present their work to a wider audience.
