Skate park art competition
This competition is now closed.
We are asking residents to come up with artwork for the skate park in Melton Mowbray town centre.
To make it a more vibrant, fun and inviting place to enjoy, we want the local community to submit their artwork, with winning ideas being used to enhance the popular spot. A local artist will install the final design across the skate park ready for a grand unveiling event in the summer, which the winners and members of the public will be invited to.
The competition is currently open and will close on Monday 1 April 2024 at 4pm
A panel of judges will select a collection of entries that will be converted into a larger mural, which will cover the skate park, in preparation for the summer.
