Congratulations to Abigail Soo of Templer Park International School — 1st Runner-Up, Young Artist Award 2025
We are proud to announce that Abigail Soo, a talented young artist from Templer Park International School, has been awarded 1st Runner-Up in the 2025 Young Artist Award.
Organised by Faber-Castell Malaysia, this year’s competition carried the inspiring theme “Inspire a Sustainable, Innovative Future.” The award celebrates young talents who use their artistic voice to shape a world where creativity meets responsibility.
A Theme That Inspires Change
The 2025 Young Artist Award encouraged participants to explore how art can drive sustainability and innovation. Under the theme “Inspire a Sustainable, Innovative Future,” young creators were invited to imagine a planet where human ingenuity and environmental care walk hand in hand.
Faber-Castell’s vision behind this initiative is simple yet powerful — to help young people see art as a catalyst for change, inspiring ideas that combine creativity, sustainability, and compassion for the planet. By colouring their visions of hope, these young artists remind us that imagination can build a better tomorrow.
