NBL & NBL1 Indigenous artwork applications

The National Basketball League is inviting applications from artists interested in creating an outstanding, unique Indigenous artwork for its two competitions – the NBL and NBL1.

The NBL desires the NBL Indigenous Artwork to reflect your unique Indigenous perspectives and storytelling ability focused upon the following themes:

NBL: A basketball journey, acknowledging the impact of the growth of basketball across communities built upon the historical foundations of the League.
Using traditional crafts, the NBL expects the Artwork will reflect the NBL’s journey over the decades, and its core NBL values and points of identity. Namely, the League being a safe and respectful environment for all (including Indigenous and First Nations Peoples and LGBTQ+ communities), being open to new ideas whilst maintaining accountability, acting with integrity and respect, and acknowledging that all parties involved with the NBL are fans of Basketball.

NBL1: The connection of communities through the sport of basketball, from the north to the south, the east to the west, and central regions of Australia.
Using traditional crafts, the NBL1 hopes the Artwork will reflect core NBL1 values and points of identity. These include the NBL1 being a safe and respectful environment for all (including Indigenous and First Nations Peoples and LGBTQ+ communities), being open to new ideas whilst maintaining accountability, acting with integrity and respect, and acknowledging that all parties involved with the NBL1 are fans of Basketball.

The NBL is encouraging expressions of interest.
