The annual event promises to be an exciting new tourist attraction. It aims to have a lasting legacy of three dimensional art forms within the Maranoa, that will be valued by the community and visitors.

The Maranoa region is looking to celebrate its distinctiveness and regional diversity with an outdoor walk of art near the entrance of the town of Roma and smaller works throughout the towns within the Maranoa region. Any medium suitable for the outdoors can be used and there is no restriction to size though safety issues should be taken into consideration.

PRIZES:

  • $25,000 Origin Open Acquisitive Prize,
  • $10,000 Maranoa Regional Council Acquisitive Local Artist Sculpture Prize,
  • $5,000  Emerging Artist Prize,
  • $5,000 Packers' Prize
  • $3,000 People’s Choice Prize
  • $2,000 Youth Prize
  • $2,000 Other Than Metal Prize
  • and the $2,000 Roma Wire and Steel Acquisitive Garden Seat prize.

The winning acquisitions will become part of the Maranoa Regional Council public art collection for enjoyment by the community and visitors to the Maranoa.
