Art lovers are being called on to decide the mural that will transform the look of one of Queensland Rail's stations.
Five striking designs from highly regarded artists have been shortlisted to adorn the recently upgraded Buranda station.
The public can vote for their favourite design until 5pm on 22 February, either via QR codes on posters in and around Buranda station or online through the Queensland Rail website.
Queensland Rail Urban Art Coordinator Daniel Brock said each of the five concepts celebrated the local area and community in its own unique way.
"We simply couldn't choose a winner between these five finalists, so we're asking the community to help us decide," Mr Brock said.
"Fintan Magee's piece presents a series of framed 'windows' using glass, light and reflection to explore space, movement and the history of Stones Corner.
"Aurora Campbell's work draws on time spent sketching at the local pub, Buranda station and walking along Norman Creek, while Fuzeillear's concept reflects the traditional meaning of Buranda as the 'windy place'.
"Joel Fergie (The Zookeeper) presents a stylised banksia landscape where people and nature coexist, and Yannick Blattner's design incorporates scenes of summer activity, flowing water, movement and connection.
"We congratulate all five talented finalists on their beautiful and thoughtful pieces."
The project is part of Queensland Rail's Positive pARTnerships program, which works with local artists to deliver high-quality public art that beautifies stations and builds community pride and ownership.
The program has delivered more than 200 projects across the Queensland Rail network, covering approximately 27,000 square metres on station buildings, subways, sound barriers and other infrastructure.
Buranda station was recently upgraded to improve accessibility and safety for customers, with new features including a footbridge with lift access, full-length high-level platforms and accessible bathrooms.
