Wall Lords Philippines: Rules & Regulations

So you think you got skills in the aerosol can and letter styles, then you have the guts to compete with the best crews around the country in the first Philippine stage of Wall Lords. And if your crew wins, you then compete with the best around Asia in the grand finals held in Shanghai this coming summer.

Basic Rules

The rules are simple, please read and understand the following.

1) Each crew/team will have a maximum of 2 to 3 members. At least 1 member must have skills in doing characters and imagery. Anyone down with graffiti art can register. A permission letter from the parent is required to anyone joining under the age of 13.

2) Those who qualify will be given a specific theme. Qualified crews will receive an e-mail on the theme's subject. A rough sketch must be submitted to the staff of Uphere (via e-mail) for review. Deadline for submitting sketches is on Jan 15. Certain elements can be used such as letter styles, background, characters, etc.

3) The mural must convey a positive image. Any image depicting violence, drugs, hatred, profanity, religious extremism, or any other negative elements that affect society will not be permitted. Political messages and imagery are strongly discouraged.

4) Strictly aerosol cans, NO OTHER MEDIUMS ALLOWED. These include paint brushes, stickers, stencils, markers, pencils, crayons, pastels etc. Rollers and bucket paint are permitted only for background and large fill-ins. Those competing are allowed to use various aerosol caps and tips. We would like to see how good you are with the spray can. Lets see some can control and some burners.

5) The most important of all is RESPECT especially to all competing crews and any works. Any confrontations both verbal and physical will result in disqualification and a permanent ban to any future Wall Lords event.

Judging

The selected judges will give scores for all the crews in each category (Theme piecing, Throw-Up, Handstyle)

The crew that earned the most points in the qualifying rounds will enter the grand finals. 

In order to make sure that the judging process is open and fair, all points will be shown to the public

The competition is divided to three categories,

Theme piecing (50% of the total score)

All crew members will have 9 hours to complete a mural under the same theme. The theme will be announced once the competing crews are selected so that a right amount of time is given for each crew to plan ahead their colors and composition.

Throw-ups (25% of the total score)



1-2 member(s) of the crew will have 5 minutes to perform a throw-up with their selected colors. The specific name will be announced a few minutes before the competition starts.

Handstyle (25% of the total score)



1 member of the crew will have 2 minutes to tag with their selected colors. The specific sentence will be announced a few minutes before the competition starts.
