Join Avida's 3-D Street Painting Contest

Avida Towers Centera recently launched a different kind of festival - a 3D street painting contest! Avida Land Corp. gives Filipino artists the chance to showcase their talent and passion in a 3-D street painting competition on March 18 and 19, 2011 at Reliance Street in Mandaluyong City.

“What better way to mark the rise of another Avida Towers than to showcase the talent and creativity of Filipinos, whose artworks will adorn the street where this development will rise,” says Avida Marketing Manager Tess Tatco.

The art contest is a part of the grand launch of Avida’s latest high rise project and has the theme “Fast-forward: Life at the Center of the Metropolis.”

How To Join

The street painting competition is open to all Filipino professional artists and students of all ages.

Contestants are required to submit a soft copy of their design via email in JPEG format only. Submitted design proposals (final artwork should be 8 x10 feet in size) must be based on the theme: “Fast-forward: Life at the Center of the Metropolis”.

Participants must form a team composed of 3 to 7 members to qualify.

Design proposals must include additional information such as contest category, group name and the names of the members. The title of the final artwork should also be stated. Design proposals will be evaluated and sorted for inclusion in a short-list; short-listed proposals are considered the official finalists of the competition.
