    Be captivated by this truly unique art competition and exhibition held annually in Sheffield, "The Town of Murals" in Tasmania.

    Mural Artists from around the world will once again be vying for the Judges Choice Award, the People’s Choice Award the Visitors Award.

    You will see nine artist finalists engaged in a paint-off to complete a mural in just six and half days.

    Each artist must complete a 2100mm-high x 4800mm-wide mural, using the same poem as their mural’s central theme and inspiration.

    Each year a new poem is selected, meaning no two Mural Fests are ever the same. The competition is conducted in Mural Park Sheffield’s very own outdoor art gallery.

    Visitors are encouraged to visit Mural Fest throughout the week to cheer on their favourite artist, and cast a vote for the People's Choice Award.
