Themed Make Your Mark in Melbourne, all Malaysian street artists aged 21 and above are invited to compete for a chance to participate in an all-expense paid cultural immersion in Melbourne.

Submissions should be sent in by Friday April 7, 2017 (5pm) to www.makeyourmarkinmelbourne.comwith a description of their artwork in no more than 50 words.
Ten shortlisted finalists will be invited to showcase their artistic talents by creating their respective works of art live in public at the Publika Shopping Gallery. Their works will not only be open for viewing by the public, but members of the public will also have a role to play in the selection of the grand winner by voting for their favourite works of art. However, the final decision on the ultimate winner will be made by a Visit Victoria-appointed panel of judges, following a thorough review of the display of works.
The winner will team up with the respected Juddy Roller Studios in arty Fitzroy, and its founder Shaun Hossack, as well as contribute an artwork to regional Victoria’s Wall to Wall Festival Benalla 2018, the only street art festival of its kind in Australia!
