Lahore students participate in wall street art competition

The walls of Lahore, which for years were covered with graffiti were reclaimed by artists and volunteers

Artists from various schools and colleges came together for the wall street art competition, to reclaim the walls of Lahore which for years have been covered with graffiti, publicising everything from love for a soulmate to hate for political parties.

The competition is an exclusive anti wall chalking campaign organised by Artistan and Message Welfare Trust, every year.

Artists and volunteers in the sixth season of the Street Art Competition, reclaimed the walls by painting them with cheerful designs aimed at bringing some happiness and pride back to the city.
