Body Art & Graffiti Expo & Competition

The third annual Body Art & Graffiti Expo & Competition will take place at uShaka Marine World, Durban on Saturday 25 August 2007 from 10am to 3 pm in the Village Walk’s Arena 5 by Cape Town Fish Market. Students from various institutions will be afforded the opportunity to enter the competition and showcase their talents. They stand a chance to win a first place prize of R2500 in the Body Art section & R2500 in the Graffiti Art section of the competition.

This unique competition will showcase and unleash the raw talent of art students. It also provides them with a platform to compete against other tertiary institutions.

The competition is very challenging as students have just 4 hours within which to sketch, theme and paint their end product. Students will receive the necessary tools such as paint, stage blocks spray cans etc, to put everyone on an even playing field.

The artists will have to paint their theme onto a model for the body art section or use a special canvas in the case of the graffiti section. Students can choose from three themes relating to Marine Life, Legends of the Sea and African Treasures in both of the categories. Loads of prizes will be awarded for the best of all three themes in both the body art and graffiti categories. Overall winners will be selected regardless of the chosen theme.

There will be loads of entertainment on the day and a Harley Davidson Motor bike display and drive through.
