The City of Ostrava (Czech Republic) is announcing an international art competition to design and implement a street art mural. The scene of the new mural will be a large retaining wall in Ostrava (located in the district of Slezská Ostrava).

The wall has a total area of just under 1000 square metres. Its total length is 202.46 metres.

The large-scale mural should reflect the dramatic and substantial transformation experienced by Ostrava and the Moravian-Silesian Region in recent years. It should also respond to the specific features (whether historical, social or sporting) of the city/region as such – including an appropriate commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Baník sports club, which is inextricably associated with the Bazaly site.

The competition is open to entrants over 18 years of age (either individuals or groups). The competition is international: you can send your entries either in Czech or in English.
Please send your entries no later than 10 May 2022, including the obligatory appendices.
