Many of the guitars were lovingly painted by children taking part in winter holiday activities at the Echuca library during the July school holidays.
Each year, about 100 vibrant cut-out guitars are entered into the competition, with ribbons awarded to the standout entries before they are proudly displayed in retail stores across the historic Port area.
Everyone is encouraged to take part in a treasure hunt during the Echuca Moama Winter Blues Festival, and explore the fabulous guitar displays for yourself.
