Are you an artist who wants to see your artwork up in public for all to enjoy?

Then enter ‘Manly Village Life’ – a public art competition that is open to people of all ages from the Northern Beaches.

The competition aims to transform the temporary fencing around The Carlton construction site (corner of Pittwater Road and Carlton Street, Manly) into a display of artwork that relates to ‘Manly Village Life’.

Organisers hope to see a celebration of the local natural environment (e.g. the ocean, lagoon, bushland, wildlife), urban environment, café culture, lifestyle, people, architecture, heritage and the overall spirit of Manly.

The competition is a great opportunity for young people interested in graffiti to display their artwork in a legitimate way.

Submissions should be emailed in a PDF or jpeg format to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it as soon as possible.

Selected artists will be invited to complete their artwork on a 1.2m wide x 2.4 m high panel of the fencing where it will be displayed until at least December. The artworks will then be auctioned and the proceeds donated to charity.

Categories include:

• Youth artists (18 and under) – including school groups, art group

• Contemporary artists – including mural artists

• Street and/or graffiti and aerosol artists

Artists can enter as a single artist or as a group of 2 or more artists. Winners for each category will be awarded a prize.
