All works are eligible for the People’s Choice, Inspiration and Artist’s Choice Awards (determined via an independent voting system)

People’s Choice Voting is for the public who are physically present at the 5LW event.

The People’s Choice prize has been established to foster public engagement with artworks and provide genuine feedback for artists and organisers.

Artist’s 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). Points are awarded on a ranked system (1-3).

Inspiration Award as determined by the 5 Lands Walk Ephemera Committee

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.
