DESIGN 21: UNESCO poster competition
Design 21 UNESCO Competition: Create the poster for 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures; a competition to promote better communication and understanding between all peoples and cultures. DEADLINE: 9 March 2010 6pm
DESIGN BRIEF
Design a poster that celebrates “2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures".
Entries are limited to text and images only.
Designers have complete creative liberty, and may freely use in their design the title of the Year ("2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures") in any of the following six languages that they are most comfortable using: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic.
Entrants are free to play with the title in more than one language, but should not use a language they do not write fluently (for example, Chinese, Arabic, Russian).
Please verify the proper spelling of the full title of the Year as shown here.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS:
Incorporating the title of the Year in your poster design is optional, not mandatory.
Entrants must keep in mind the international nature of UNESCO and the celebration of the Year and avoid any reference to a particular country, region, culture or religion.
The final printed poster will be A1-sized (59.4 x 84.1 cm or 23.4 × 33.1 in). Although the online entry provisions do not allow for the full A1 dimensions, your entry must include at least one image showing the entire poster design scaled to A1 proportions. Note the “Entry Provisions” section outlined further down the page.
You must not include any logos on your design but instead use a placeholder. The final printed posters will include the UNESCO/UN logos + the official Logo of "2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures". To accommodate these in the poster design, entrants must save a place in their design where the official logos would be positioned in the event that your design is selected as one of the 50 to be showcased. The placeholder should be scaled to 9cm x 9cm relative to an A1 poster, and be positioned in the upper left hand corner of your poster. Click here to download the placeholder example. Since screen resolutions are different across computers, if the placeholder we have supplied does not measure 9cm x 9cm on your screen, you may recreate it to the 9x9cm dimensions.
Any person submitting a design within the framework of the competition certifies and warrants that his/her proposal does not violate the rights of a third party or any copyright.
All entrants must consult and agree to the competition Rules (see the Rules tab).
ENTRY PROVISIONS
Entries should be submitted in the format of a web-resolution jpeg of 72dpi. See the “How to Enter” section in the competition Rules for more details on image and file sizes.
Additionally, entrants should have their design readily available in a 300dpi print resolution PDF in case their poster is selected as one of the 30 to be printed. If your design is chosen to be printed, and you have verified in writing your acceptance of the usage terms, you would need to add the official logos (mentioned above in the "Design Brief") which would be supplied to you by UNESCO. (See "Proposed Usage of Winning and Selected Designs," below, for more details).
Each design submission should be accompanied by a description (French or English only, 400 words maximum) describing the design and what it intends to illustrate.
Entries that direct users away from the DESIGN 21 website will be disqualified.

NEW opportunities
Illustration/GD competition
Artists, illustrators, designers of all levels. We're looking for mailable artworks to exhibit as part of a group show entitled 'MAIL ART' in January 2010. 'MAIL ART' was realised by Long Gallery Coordinator Alison Stockwell in response to the number of submissions the gallery recieved from UK based artists outside Glasgow who wished to exhibit but didn't have the funds to travel to Glasgow with their work. By inviting artists to send select pieces of work by post it gives them the opportunity to exhibit as part of a larger group exhibition without incurring any travel costs. As part of 'MAIL ART' artist Susan Mortimer, creator of Mail Art One Zine, will be making a special edition of her zine featuring selected work from exhibiting artists. There will be a limited amount of copies available free during the exhibition.

Creative writing workshop
In association with Nike Sportswear and the London IAM1 Journey, Protein are running an open, half day creative writing workshop with Londonʼs Charlie Dark at Nike Sportswearʼs Shoreditch studio, gallery space and concept store, 1948 on Saturday 15th August from 2.30pm - 6.30pm. 1948 is located at 477-478 Batemans Row, London, EC2A 3HH.
The IAM1 Journey leads us through London, Milan, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin where contemporary story tellers help us make the hidden visible in the search for new expressions of style, design and innovation. Londonʼs journey was seen through the eyes of Charlie Dark, incorporating east London artists, designers and producers including INSA, Benedict Radcliffe, Goldielocks and Protein. Check out the acclaimed films here.
Inspired by the project's theme of “Hidden London”, Charlie Dark will host a writing and performance workshop breaking down his creative processes and inspirations whilst talking about the IAM1 Journey and his long and illustrious career as an essential player in Londonʼs major underground music and art scenes.
Charlie Dark (Attica Blues, Blacktronica, Run Dem Crew)
From his beginnings with the seminal MoʼWax label and the dusty vibes and scribes of London legends Attica Blues through to being one of the worldʼs most respected slam poets. Invited to festivals in ever corner of the globe, Charlie Dark is a pillar of London, hosting courses, clashes and workshops. Charlie Dark created the Blacktronica collective to break down the boundaries between music, art and spoken word and now with his Run Dem Crew, lights up the darkness of London by charging through it, seeing the city like nobodyʼs ever seen before.

The book is about what happens when a boy who won't talk clearly meets a fairy that can't hear well and is told in the same rhyming style as The Gruffalo, illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The winner of the 'Picture This' competition will win a publishing contract with Macmillan to illustrate Donaldson's latest book, Freddie and the Fairy, which will be published Christmas 2010. The book is about what happens when a boy who won't talk clearly meets a fairy that can't hear well and is told in the same rhyming style as The Gruffalo, illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The complete text of the story was uploaded onto the retailer's website this morning at waterstones.com/picturethis. Aspiring artists who wish to enter have to submit an illustration for two pages from the story as well as character sketches for the main characters.
The deadline for submissions is 18th May.
Picture This is Waterstone's search to find a talented new picture book illustrator. Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo and the UK's most successful picture book author, has written a text especially for the competition which is available exclusively online at Waterstones.com. The resulting book will be published by Macmillan Children's Books for Christmas 2010.
Who can enter?
The aim is to find a new picture book talent so the competition will be open to anyone who has not worked professionally anywhere in the world as a colour children's book or children's cover illustrator. This means that anyone else, for example a graphic designer, animator, greetings card illustrator etc would be completely eligible. Entry will be available to UK residents only.
How can I enter?
There will be two stages of entry:
To be eligible, initial entries must comprise full colour character sketches of the 3 main characters plus at least 2 animals (a minimum of 5 sketches in total) plus full colour artwork for one double-page spread (i.e. two facing pages). These entries must be received by 18 May 2009 17:30 GMT.
A shortlist of six candidates will be drawn up by the judging panel, and those shortlisted will be notified.
Entrants who are shortlisted must provide rough black and white drawings for the whole book (approx 12 double page spreads) plus artwork for two more full-colour, double-page spreads on or before the shortlist closing date of 31 July 2009 17:30 GMT (for artwork guidance see the full Terms and Conditions).
Who will be on the judging panel?
The panel will consist of Julia Donaldson, Lauren Child (bestselling children's illustrator and author), editorial director for picture books at Macmillan Children's Books, a literary agent, Waterstone's picture books buyer, and a children's book reviewer.
How will the winner be decided?
The winner will be the illustrator who, in the opinion of the judges, is the most suitable illustrator for "Freddie and the Fairy" and the one who will create the most appealing and commercial picture book for the 3+ age group.
What is the prize?
The opportunity to illustrate the book, (Freddie and the Fairy), written by Julia Donaldson, to be published for Christmas 2010. The winner will be offered a contract with Macmillan Children's Books, along with a royalty advance.
