"The awards provide a platform where trailblazing destinations - cities, regional towns and precincts - can be recognised for their contribution to both the world of street art and art tourism," she said.

"Each of the communities acknowledged through these awards have made their mark as a must-see destination for art lovers.

"Being shortlisted in these awards cements the reputation of Bendigo as an aspirational destination for everyone who loves to discover visually stunning experiences."
