Overview
Championship spirit on the wall.
This nationwide online contest celebrates the excitement of the 2026 playoffs through mural art. Participants choose the team they back to win and express that pick creatively—while keeping work original, respectful, and clear of specific player likenesses or protected third-party imagery.
Who can join
Independent artists, artist collectives or groups, and LGUs / community organizations—all Filipino mural artists 21 years old and above. Limited to one (1) entry per individual or group.
Public murals
Murals must be painted in public, highly visible locations, meet the minimum 5 sqm painted area, and include the ArenaPlus logo in a subtle, balanced way per the official color guide. Judging rewards creativity and execution—not how loud the branding is.
