A community for graffiti artists to hone their skills through friendly competition.

~~Each Monday, beginning at 18:00 UTC, a new contest will be held in which artists may submit a work of graffiti art depicting the chosen word of the week. The artwork which receives the most upvotes by Sunday, 18:00 UTC, will be deemed that weeks winner. The winner of that week’s contest gets to pick the next word. ~~

The contest has been suspended until enough interest has been generated to give it another shot. Until then, feel free to submit works of street-art (your own, or just that which you enjoy seeing) in accordance with the rules below, which still mostly work despite there not being a “contest” at the moment.

Rules:

Don’t be a dick. As art is subjective, not all submissions will be enjoyed by everyone. Criticism is acceptable, so long as it is constructive. This means if you are going to tell someone that you don’t like their art, you must also tell them why and how you would personally improve upon it. The goal is to help one another progress as artists, not to put one another down. 1a. As a caveat, if you are uncomfortable receiving criticism, you may write NO CRIT in your post. Posts including NO CRIT can be voted on, however no comments may be made about this art, good or bad. 1b. Downvoting is not allowed on a submission under any circumstances. We are voting on the art we like and want to see win, not the other way around. If a competitor is caught downvoting, their submission will be disqualified for the week.
All submissions must be in a physical medium. This means no digital artwork or AI. All physical media submissions are acceptable. This includes anything including paint, pencil, stencil, or even macaroni art if that is what you choose.
2a. You do not need a fancy scanner to submit your entry. Cellphone photos of the work are perfectly acceptable.
Anyone may submit an entry.
You may vote on your own submission, and on more than one submission, however, it is encouraged that you just pick the one that you like the best to help prevent ties.
4a. In the event of a tie, a runoff vote will be held between the tied submissions. These votes will take place between Sunday 18:00 UTC and Monday 15:00 UTC.
If you do not wish to participate in the competition, but you want to talk about or share graffiti you enjoy, you are welcome to post here outside of the competition thread. Bear in mind that street art is illegal under many circumstances and I am not responsible for what happens to you if you face consequences for posting your own art on the internet.

These rules are subject to change as needed and suggestions are welcome. This is my first ever community and I’m sure I won’t get it right the first time. - y0kai
