About artrepublic Street Art competition with StreetSmart

artrepublic have launched a national art competition entitled ‘Street Art’, in association with ‘StreetSmart’ - the charity set up in 1998 to support a wide range of homeless organisations.

artrepublic are searching the nation for an artist to create an original ‘Street Art’ image that makes a positive contribution to the urban environment and raises awareness of the homeless situation in the UK.

The winner will see their artwork transformed into a huge installation (the size of a three-storey building) appearing on the streets of London and Brighton. Plus the winning image will be sold as a limited edition print through the artrepublic galleries in London and Brighton and online at www.artrepublic.com, with proceeds going to StreetSmart. There's also a meal for two and a night's stay in a London hotel up for grabs.

The competition is open to anyone regardless of experience so not only will it help the charity, it may also unearth and help to support new talent which would be seen by people from all backgrounds. The competition coincides with this years drive for support of the homeless by StreetSmart and their restaurant partners over the festive season.

Artists are required to email their ‘Street Art’ image to artwork@artrepublic.com, with ‘Street Art Competition’ in the subject line OR enter by uploading your picture into the "Street Art competition with StreetSmart" group with the tag StreetSmart and your details.

All the latest entries can be followed via the artrepublic Flickr Photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/artrepublic.

Deadline for entries is Friday 8th January 2010 with the winner being announced on Thursday 28th January 2010.
