The Department of Tourism and Youth Council of Mazarrón have launched a competition to decorate the Tourism Office with graffiti, located in Plaza Toneleros of Puerto de Mazarrón. The initiative was presented by Councillor Maria Celeste Soria who explained that "with this contest we want to give a new image to the Office of Tourism”.
Interested parties may submit their proposals until Friday June 7 at 2pm, through registration at Mazarrón Town Hall, or by sending it by registered mail. The competition is open to individuals and groups aged between 13 and 35 years, who must provide a colour sketch of 50 cm x 25 cm – groups participating must be no more than 4. Proposals must revolve around the town of Mazarrón, and of particular interest are those that embody its monuments, beaches or archaeological or natural heritage.
Of the proposals submitted, a jury composed of the Mayor, Councillor of Tourism and Youth and technicians from both areas will choose two works that will be awarded €500 each. The sketches of the 2 winners will be executed on Saturday June 22 starting at approximately 8am on an area of 16 m x 2 m, with the Council making available to the artists the materials and tools needed.
The Councillor for Tourism said that "on Saturday June 22 Plaza Toneleros will feature additional workshops for children and young people about this painting technique and also everyone will be able to enjoy hip hop music to cheer the day."
