Un-Bull-ievable Opportunity as WLCA Launches Calf Design Competition
We shone light to our udderly art-tastic calf design competition! This summer, Birmingham bursts into life with the Bulls in the City art trail, running from 16 July to 14 September 2025. The city will be transformed by 40 giant bull sculptures and around 85 calves, each uniquely decorated by local artists, schools, and community groups, all in support of Birmingham Hospice.
Witton Lodge Community Association is delighted to announce a fantastic opportunity for Erdington residents: our Calf Design Competition! We’re inviting everyone in the community to get creative and submit their ideas for our very own calf sculpture. The winning entry will be brought to life by professional artists and proudly displayed as part of the city’s biggest art event this summer.
Whether your design draws inspiration from Erdington’s landmarks, green spaces, or our community spirit, we want to see your vision!
