Announcing The 2005 BGP Photo Contest Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the BGP Photo Contest! In case you’re wondering how we selected this year’s winners, we used your viewer ratings to help us narrow the pool of finalists. We then selected the top three winners based on the quality of the bathroom graffiti image, the creativity, and how well we thought the images represented The Bathroom Graffiti Project. Keep submitting your favorite images. We will soon be announcing a new Photo Contest for 2006. Thanks again for all of your contributions. It truly was difficult to narrow down the selections.

Amazing Year For Bathroom Graffiti

Thanks to all of the help from our loyal readers, the BGP Sniper Team, and all of you who continue to submit pictures, the Bathroom Graffiti Project had a great year in 2005. If you’ve been to our site before then you know we’re all about promoting freedom of expression, street art, and creative thought. If this is your first time, here’s our manifesto: http://www.graffitiproject.com/manifesto.php.

Even though, we’re just beginning our mission to collect and document the world’s best bathroom graffiti, the graffiti writers and artists of the world are beginning to unite! With your help we have already been able to collect over 330 images from around the world.

We’re a long ways of from our goal of at least one image from every country in the world, but give us a couple years. This collaborative arts project is taking off. Already the archives have images from all over the United States, Canada, France, Australia, China, Brazil, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany.

You can help out by taking pictures of bathroom graffiti, telling your friends about the project and linking to our site.
