Beautify the Walls, Say No to Wall Chalking.


STREET ART COMPETITION SEASON 2 is Back !!

Message Welfare Trust organized an event in March, 2010 known as Street Art Competition (SAC) which is first of its kind in the history of Pakistan. It all started off as an idea to do something against the anomalous practice of wall chalking.

Every one of us frequently comes across many instances of wall chalking in the forms of various advertisements, election campaigns or else as a freedom of expression for writing absurd and hideous comments against the government or its officials.
We see the city walls being defaced by all these illogical advertisements, comments and annotations which not only spoils the beauty of our country but also projects a wrong image of our nation at the world level.
This is because we, particularly the youth, find a refuge in such graffiti on the walls to let out our frustrations due to the intricate times our nation is going through right now. MWT took the initiative to do something to remove this illegal practice of
aggressive wall chalking which, in fact, is prohibited by law according to the Punjab Prohibition of Expressing Matters on Walls Act 1995.

Street Art Competition was organized by MWT with the similar intention to Review the Walls of Lahore and eradicate the eccentric and illegal practice of wall chalking. The basic aim was to remove the remarks that marred the beauty of the walls and render the so called talking walls to talk about the beauty, culture, traditions, art and attributes of our country, overall depicting a positive image of Pakistan globally
The Season-I of SAC was organized in Gulberg in which 250 students from various institutes of Lahore participated to eliminate the incongruous advertisements and to paint the culture, tradition and attributes of our beloved country covering 55 walls of Gulberg area within 2 days. The jury included eminent personalities like Saleema Hashmi, R.M. Naeem, Ms Aatiqa, Ms. Nilofar and Ms. who reviewed all the painted walls and then announced the winners accordingly. The frontrunners were then awarded with cash prizes and certificates at the closing ceremony of SAC Season-I. The participants and the management team were also awarded with certificates and souvenirs respectively.
The charm of the glorious event persisted till the end as it roped in the melodious tunes of the theme song of Message Welfare Trust sung by Uzair Ashraf, an upcoming star who launched his career by donating his first single to Message Welfare Trust.
After the success of Season-I, MWT is going to continue its tradition by organizing Season-II of SAC.
