ANTABAX POWER GRAFFITI COMPETITION 2017 EXPLORES THE POWER OF MALAYSIAN-NESS

Antabax POWER Graffiti Competition 2017 Explores the Power of Malaysian-ness

The Antabax POWER Graffiti Competition is held in collaboration with the National Art Gallery.

The competition is themed POWER Malaysia, and challenges graffiti artists to interpret the POWER of Malaysia, Malaysians and Malaysian-ness as they see it. POWER embodies the dynamism, energy and youthful spirit of Malaysia as it celebrates 60 years of independence.

Graffiti may range from simple writing on surfaces to elaborate paintings or ‘pieces’ on walls. They have existed since ancient times and their modern forms, usually created using spray paint, have become a legitimate art form. 

The competition offers what is believed to be among the richest cash prizes for a street art competition in the country, totalling RM20,000 with the first-place crew receiving RM7,500 in cash, the second RM4,500, the third RM2,500 and 11 consolation prizes of RM500 each. In addition, crews will receive a supplies subsidy of RM200 for spray paint and respirator masks, as well as Antabax hampers for crew members.

The competition is a two-parter, with entries welcomed through online submissions from July 24 to August 24 through the Antabax Facebook fanpage at fb.com/NewAntabax.

Fourteen of the online submission will be shortlisted by a panel comprising of the Antabax team, art experts from the National Art Gallery and a mystery Malaysian street artist. The fourteen crews will engage in a five-hour long live graffiti battle on the grounds of the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur to create 8 foot by 8 foot pieces that reflect their interpretation of POWER Malaysia. The battle date will be announced soon.

Final judging will be based on the finished artwork, not on online submissions.
