Press Release: Graffiti competition aims to promote legal artworks.

ISSUED TO THE MEDIA IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA TODAY:

Graffiti competition aims to promote legal artworks.

Brisbane, Australia – June 28, 2010.

Ironlak is currently running a nationwide competition to encourage the creation of legal graffiti-inspired murals throughout Australia.

This competition has been run successfully in previous years and entrants in the past have observed the competition’s rules and understand the intent of the competition.

The terms and conditions explicitly state that “ALL ARTWORK MUST BE PAINTED WITH PERMISSION”. The very nature of this competition is to push artists to strive towards artistic excellence rather than careless vandalism.

The recipients of the paint prizes MUST be of legal age.

Entrants of this competition will usually spend several days creating a mural, with the goal of creating an impressive piece of artwork.

We believe that graffiti is a legitimate artform and we support the legal expression of that. We absolutely do not endorse or encourage malicious vandalism, in fact it is something we try strongly to encourage against and we regularly support community art initiatives to help counter this.

We believe this type of competition should be encouraged by local councils as a way to divert young people’s efforts towards graffiti art in legitimate circumstances. Legal art programs have been used for several years by different councils to help curb vandalism. We strongly encourage councils to create more legal art avenues for these artists and we believe that the majority of the community would be pleasantly surprised and supportive of the murals that these artists are capable of creating when given legitimate avenues.

We do not give away our Ned-Long hoodies. This item was produced in a limited run as fashion apparel, designed for colder climates and is sold to retailers primarily in Europe and the Midwest USA.

Shout Outs (Ganked from the Ironlak Blog)


Ironlak got some love in the Cairns Post along with some local talent from Brissy..
Maybe Brisbane councillors could take a little from this and organize more positive events for artists to express their creative talents rather than try to shut them down.
A few members of the Ironlak Family are heading north to Cairns in July this year for another round of The Alley Project..
Great work to all those behind this project.. I'm sure it will continue to achieve a positive reaction amongst the community.

Chock-a-block...
