A further extension of The MOPBA was the establishment of the
“Itchiball Prize”, where the general public submitted pieces of
Art, either their own or found works, in an attempt to claim this
‘prestigious’ prize.
| The inaugural winner in
2005, Mr William Eicholtz, was presented with a cheque for a $2,000
Windsor shopping spree as reward for entering the worst artwork,
(Pictured), in the competition. |

| The Winner in 2006
Mr Craig McGee, won a $3,000 Chapel St Shopping Spree with
his stunning entry - Last Gasp Grannie. |

| Winner of the 2007
Itchiball Prize was Drew Cattle with his found work Conan the
Barbed Arian |

‘What makes Bad Art?’, I hear you ask.
Well, the criteria are simple(ish):
- Completely devoid of technical skill (Colour, tone, perspective
and shading)
- Unusual, poor or tasteless subject matters (Preferably all
three!)
- Undeniable passion, driven by an uneducated hand.
- That ‘special’ feeling that forms in your gut
We donated all proceeds from holding this event to the
following charities.
Thus achieving our stated goal; - “To celebrate mediocrity
whilst helping folks with broken hearts, homeless kiddies, little
puppies and fluffy pussies!”
By raising funds for these groups we are also working towards
another of the committee’s goals; - That of Shaping the Bad Art
Movement into an effective force for Charity.
