DOES where we live inspire you? Are you a local artist keen to get your work seen throughout the region? Apex Maleny are holding their Art Competition to find the perfect cover for their 2023-2024 Apex Maleny Business Directory.
Apex Maleny spokesperson Sam Price shared the competition is something they open up to the community to give aspiring artists an opportunity to have their work displayed via the front cover of our business directory, while also earning some extra cash to boot…
“We are looking for works of art, preferably, rather than photos but all entries will be considered,” Sam said. “All entries must have some link to the Maleny district but how this links to the region is entirely at your discretion… you are granted artistic licence!”
Judged by Maleny Art Direct, along with featuring on the cover of the directory, the first prize winner will receive $300; second $200; and third $100.
Apex Maleny post their business directory to residences throughout the region, with the support of local businesses advertising in the directory and is well received throughout the community. However, the directory is just one aspect to the exclusively volunteer run group, who put all profits back into the community.
Alongside the familiar sight of Apex BBQ’s, the group fundraisers toward the Maleny Hospital Auxiliary, Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, schools in Maleny and grassroots sporting clubs throughout the hinterland, as well as providing support to individuals and families doing it tough within the community.
“Beyond this we also try and help individuals and families in the community,” Sam shared. “These range from things such as helping with accommodation and transport for people perhaps needing repeated medical treatment or, being high achieving athletes be it practically or financially.”
Entries for the art competition close April 30, 2023. To find out more, contact Sam on 0400 132 152 or email apexmalenyclub@hotmail.com
