Train station mural artwork competition extended

The Wynnum station mural design competition that kicked off last year has extended its entry period until Friday 18th March.

The idea behind the competition is to invite local artists to submit designs to replace the current somewhat faded mural on the wall opposite the platform at Wynnum Central railway station (see previous article here).

Entrants are asked to take inspiration from Wynnum’s seaside theme and design something that welcomes visitors who arrive in Wynnum on the train.

When installed the finished artwork will measure 7.6m x 2.6m.

In addition to having their artwork appear in this prominent location, the winning artist will receive a $500 cash prize.

All works and concepts must be the original unaided work of the entrant and be created specifically for this competition. Artists can make as many submissions as they like.

The competition is being held by CCIQ Brisbane and WynnumCentral, with support from Cr Peter Cumming, Joan Pease MP and Brisbane City Council.
