OK you creative types – after the success of our 2011 artwork competition we’d like to call on your talents once more to create an illustration for our new Coors Light Breakthrough programme.
The background…
Breakthrough will showcase and promote emerging artists, both local and international to a young, music loving audience. This programme of shows is a festival-within-a-festival happening alongside the 13th Open House Festival from 22nd – 26th June 2011.
This is a new programme of shows which provides the opportunity to be truly creative, with no previous artwork ideas and our desire that Breatkthrough will have a unique identity, separate from that of the Open House Festival. Artists announced so far include Caitlin Rose, Marcus Foster, The Lost Brothers and Treetop Flyers, so this will hopefully give you an idea of the type of music Breakthrough will showcase.
The brief…
As before, this competition is open to anyone – professional designer, amateur doodler… as long as you’re 18 years or older. You can send as many entries as you like, and your design can be in any medium. BUT it must be original, and it can’t have been used for any other commercial purposes. The winning piece will be used in an extensive online marketing campaign so keep this in mind while designing.
Email your design plus contact details, in a low-res format, to: info@openhousefestival.com by 5pm on Thurs 28th April 2011.
The technical bit…
The finalists / winner will be contacted directly to submit the original artwork and receive the prizes. If the artwork is produced on a computer it must be supplied as a layered file – either Adobe photoshop or illustrator (PSD or AI). Any fonts used should also be supplied or at least referenced so we can buy a licence if required. The file should be as high-res as possible as it will be printed as large format poster (A2 + ).
If the artwork is a hand drawn / painted original produced for the festival it would be preferable to have it with no lettering on it.
The prize…
The chosen design will receive £150, 2 x tickets for Laura Marling (24th June) PLUS 2x tickets for Fleet Foxes (25th June) (no travel or accommodation provided) and a case of Coors Light (to be collected in person.)
The small print…
All future copyright of the artwork will belong to the festival. But don’t panic – we won’t make money out of your design. Open House is a not for profit organisation and your work will simply be used for our free marketing materials.
Good luck to ye all,
Kieran, Alison & Team Open House!
