If you’re in Washington DC this weekend, be sure to head along Metro’s Red Line to the Rhode Island Avenue station and check out a massive 500 feet long wall that’s being turned into the largest mural of its kind in the city.

On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., more than 100 artists will add to it at a mural jam. The public is invited to help paint and enjoy live music, DJs, food and activities for kids.

The jam is sponsored by the D.C. government and the nonprofit group Albus Cavus, which aims to beautify neighborhoods by creating works of art.

If you and around 48 of your possee want a free day out in the UK then check out Bling My Coach. National Express are holding a graffiti competition for the best bus design, essentially they want they greatest piece of graffiti they can get hold of and will spray it on the sides of one of their coaches. Imagine all the free publicity you’d get if your design was chosen?

It goes beyond that though, as mentioned before you will be able to get you and 48 of your mates on board for a free day out as a prize, yes you can imagine the commotion, still sounds like a laugh.

When you sign up, which is fast and free, you’ll need to download their template. This is what it looks like:-

However it’s a 300dpi image in PDF format to ensure a quality design. There’s not too much going on competition-wise right yet, but I’m sure the designs will flood in in the next few weeks. Take a look at a couple of the submissions so far :-

I’ve started working on my own – it’s called Street Art Express and who knows if no one else can top my design maybe I’ll be offering all you lucky readers a free trip to Bristol. We can check out all the latest graffiti around the city, get drunk, and go home lol.

If you want a free trip then just register, log on and vote. I’ll be a while creating my coach so here’s a sneak preview of what I’ve done so far – yes these two characters are from On The Buses – hah.

Anyway go check it out, it’s a pretty cool idea and looks like a lot of fun – www.blingmycoach.com
