Netizens called out Bianca Umali for holding an art contest without announcing the prizes
BIANCA UMALI – Many people from the art community called out Kapuso actress Bianca Umali for her art contest.
An art piece for exposure? Art is one’s expression of feelings and emotion. Without the skills, natural talents, years of study and experience, materials, time, hard work, and effort, there will be no art. This is the reason why many people from the art community called out Kapuso actress Bianca Umali.
In her latest vlog, the actress asked fans to create banner art for her YouTube channel. She made it clear that this is a contest and vowed to announce the winners on her next vlog but she did not divulge any more details about her art contest. And this has given people the assumption that she’s asking an artwork from her fans for exposure.
A short time exposure as an exchange for their talent? This thought has received backlash because they believed no artist deserves this. Many believe she is taking advantage of these talented individuals by not offering anything in return for their efforts exerted and time spent on the artwork made for her.

Here are some comments:
Just like a fellow artist, you should probably know by now that exposure doesn’t PAY bills 😊
This doesn’t sound like an art contest, it’s more like doing charity work.
Hi. What’s the prize? This can’t be called a contest without a reasonable prize for the winner/s.
Exposure as a prize is Pathetic. Pay them Girl
