Conditions of entry
Entries are now open! Please read the conditions before submitting your entry:
All proposals must be ephemeral and aligned with the 5 Lands Walk theme of “Connecting people to people and people to place.”
Artists will receive a nominal participation payment (amount TBC) to be paid into the account on the entry form. Please note that any installation costs are at the expense of the artist.
A detailed artwork description and safety statement are required. These include an outline of how any potential hazards have been addressed, a description of the construction methods, installation procedure and a diagram/photo of the work.
Artwork for the exhibition will be reviewed by a panel comprising the Ephemera Curator and nominees of the 5 Lands Artists Collective Inc. All required fields on entry form must be completed.
The organisers will attempt to include all work submitted. Any concerns about content or safety will be communicated to the artist prior to acceptance. The organisers’ decision is final.
Artists may submit a previously exhibited artwork.
Installation details, including site numbers/precise location on map, will be provided to artists prior to the exhibition. Artists are to only set up where they find their numbered cone on the beach.
Installation must be completed by 8am on the day of the 5 Lands Walk.
Deinstallation can begin from 3pm on the day of the 5 Lands Walk. Participation payment will only be made if ALL materials are removed.
All works are eligible for the People’s Choice, Inspiration and Artists’ Choice Awards (determined via an independent voting system)
People’s Choice Voting is for the public who are physically present at the 5LW event. Artists are not to solicit outside voting through their own social media accounts etc to compete with an unfair advantage. The People’s Choice prize has been established to foster public engagement with artworks and provide genuine feedback for artists and organisers.
Artists’ Choice Award is awarded to the artist who receives the most votes from other participating artists on the day. Each artist votes for their favourite 3 installations (outside of their own).
Inspiration Award as determined by the 5 Lands Walk Ephemera Committee
Please complete the online entry form (including supporting documentation-PDF preferred)
by Friday 30th May 2025.

5 Lands Walk
The 5 Lands Walk is an annual cultural event that began in 2006. It is a cultural, physical and spiritual journey comprising a 10 km walk through the 5 coastal lands of Macmasters Beach, Copacabana, Avoca Beach, North Avoca and Terrigal. It is timed to correspond with the winter solstice and the annual northern migration of the whales, which are the totem of the Darkinjung people of the Central Coast. Along the walk, each village hosts cultural activities reflective of their community with the aim of connecting people to people and people to place. These activities include the presentation of food, music, dance, land art, paintings and photography, as well as education in Aboriginal culture and heritage, whale migration and the surrounding natural environment.
The 5 Lands Walk is a fusion of artistic, cultural and physical approaches to a sense of place. All the creative artists of each community contribute to the celebrations. The 5 Lands Walk is a combination of five mini-festivals in one. People who come to experience the event can do so in one land or all five – they create their own story. The Ephemera sculptural exhibition at Avoca Beach is one of the featured cultural events of the 5 Lands Walk and is unique to the festival.
