Open Call
Art contest 'DRUKWERK'

Under the heading ‘DRUKWERK’, we are launching an art competition at the end of June for artists/street artists/illustrators who want to add color to the center.
The center of Avelgem is undergoing a complete metamorphosis. The former school buildings of the Sint-Jan Berchmans primary and middle school and the nearby Byttebier printing works are making way for new commercial premises, residential units and green areas. The - for now - blank wall next to the printing office is crying out for a creative interpretation and should become the eye-catcher of this project.
The competition is open to artists over the age of 18, either individually or collectively.
Both professional and semi-professional artists can participate.
Applications may be submitted through September 15, 2025 via email (cultuur@avelgem.be) or by mail.
Evaluation criteria
◦ Artistic quality and originality
◦ Match with the environment
◦ Technical feasibility
◦ Use of quality materials
◦ Use of materials that will ensure the wall drawing remains in good condition for at least 10 years.
The final laureate will be announced no later than early October 2025.
The execution of the mural should be completed by spring 2026.
The artist will receive a fee of 12,000 euros including all material, work and transportation costs.
