Exciting Design Competition for BASS Festival 2010
11th January 2010. Posted by Tara Tomes.
BASS Festival (British Arts and Street Sounds) is the UK’s only month long celebration of Black Music and Art. Every June, the UK comes alive with a phenomenal line up of events, new commissions, gigs, exhibitions, master classes, showcases, club nights, theatre, conferences and film.
This year BASS is running an exciting competition for new graphic designers. There will be a cash prize of £500 and the winning design will receive huge exposure by appearing for six weeks across all marketing and branding for the festival.
The artist will also be invited to the launch event and receive PR support to promote the design across all print and online networks. Finally the lucky winner will get two full pages dedicated to their work, the project and their profile in the BASS festival brochure – of which there are 50,000 distributed nationally and internationally.
Each year the festival takes on a different theme. The theme for 2010 is DNA:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) forms the building blocks of life and controls the development and functioning of all known living organisms. But what does DNA mean to us individually in the 21st century? Identity, test tubes, control, heritage, science, ID cards, family, databases, samples, genomes, protest? The fifth BASS festival will explore how DNA varies and develops, whether caused by external forces, or by personal development, enabling us to rethink our evolving identities.
The Brief
Create an advert for the BASS Festival highlighting this year’s theme of DNA as the design inspiration. The design should be bold, eye catching and unique, featuring the following text:
BASS FESTIVAL
June 2010
www.bassfestival.co.uk
[With space for four logos at the bottom of the design]
The design must be your own original idea and although you will retain the intellectual property rights and Punch will have complete rights of use during the festival. All entries must be newly created and previously unpublished.
