SEVERAL years ago, I was thrilled to have my artwork selected and displayed on a meter box in Ipswich.
The Ipswich City Council has again launched another similar meter box competition in a unique Green Street Art Competition calling on Ipswich Artists and community members to submit artwork.
If selected their designs will adorn the city streets and they’ll win a $250 gift card.
As part of the Ipswich Central Revitalisation, one of the priority projects identified in Revitalising Ipswich Central is to create Green Walkable Streets.
This project is a public realm improvement initiative to establish a connected network of comfortable and safe pedestrian focused streets, to bring life and vitality back into the heart of Ipswich and onto its streets.
Artists are asked to create artwork based around the concept of Green Street Art.
Designs incorporating or reimagining trees, leaves, grass, flowers, and local flora, should be used as the focus for the design.
For local ideas and inspiration look at Ipswich’s significant flora and fauna.
The selected artwork will be transferred onto vinyl wraps that will be installed onto 11 Energex assets in Ipswich Central.
Submission into the green walkable street’s artwork project is open to all Ipswich City Council residents or people who work or study in the Ipswich local government area.
Participants can submit the design as an individual or a group, but if the design is submitted as a group, there is only one prize per submission.
Entries to the Green Walkable Streets Artwork Project are open until Jan 18.
For more information and to submit artwork visit Shape Your Ipswich.
