Arts exhibitions and contests are continually held to encourage artists in Brunei to share their talents and creativity. This motivates others to gather more knowledge and appreciate any form of arts. The Brunei Arts & Handicrafts Training Centre is organising the 'Brunei In History' Arts Contest & Exhibition in conjunction with the 19th Brunei National Day 2003 celebration.

The aim of the contest and exhibition is to encourage artists to create and contribute their arts creativity in the form of the history of Brunei as well as to enhance their artistic creativity, expertise and talents.
