The Sydney Morning-Herald reports Goldie Marketing has organized a public art exhibition in Melbourne focused on Nintendo characters.
The inaugural Out of Controller art exhibition will open Sept. 10 at Melbourne’s iconic Fad Gallery. Entries are open to the public, and Goldie Marketing is encouraging Nintendo fans, young arts professionals and game designers to contribute to the exhibition.
Nintendo fans should be familiar with Goldie Marketing for its beautiful Nintendo figurines distributed worldwide by Corgi Int’l.
Entries will be judged by a panel of games journalists, designers and Nintendo of Australia executives. The grand prize winner will receive a cash prize of $2000 and a Nintendo Wii prize package. Even those without a knack for creativity may consider keeping the date; all entries will be on sale to the public during the exhibition.
The deadline for entries is Aug. 15. For more information, visit the official Out of Controller Web site.

That is awesome, but it is a pain in the f**king arse to see Sydney getting F**ked over AGAIN! It was Melbourne who got the Game On! Convention and now they’re getting this? What the heck! Melbourne is always getting everything interesting.
But then again they get the cold, so like, yeah, have fun.
I’m going to be pissed off all day now.

Hey guys, it’s the organiser here at Goldie Marketing. Thanks for the support on both the collectible figurines and the exhibition.
Our company is based in Melbourne, it just makes it so much easier to hold it in Melbourne, plus we have a great arrangement with the FAD Gallery to enable us to afford holding the exhibition free for the public. However we do look forward to a successful exhibition in September and we may well be able to tee up a gallery in Sydney and many other places down the track… any support are obviously very much appreciated:)
feel free to ask me any questions at anytime!
