2007 Poster/Art Contest!

Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:08:17 PST

The guidelines are simple Ã¢â¬â We are looking for a 11" wide x 17" tall poster that will also be used in other formats (the web, post cards, buttons, stickers, etc), so itÃ¢â¬â¢s gotta be visible and striking at multiple sizes and resolutions (or have smaller, breakaway pieces). The design will eventually be silkscreened/screen rinted onto t-shirts also, and for this reason please limit your colors to black and white and one other color. We must receive your submission by January 5th, 2007. We encourage artists to use any medium or style. If a design is especially appealing, our decision committee is open to enlisting a computer graphics whiz to help us resize the image, but we would prefer the artist to assist us in the process of transferring the image to other mediums. The information on the poster should include: - Ã¢â¬Å7th Annual Portland Zine SymposiumÃ¢â¬Â - Ã¢â¬ÅAugust 11-12, 2007Ã¢â¬Â - Ã¢â¬ÅA conference and zine social exploring facets of underground publishing and DIY cultureÃ¢â¬Â - Ã¢â¬ÅPortland State University Smith Memorial Ballroom in Downtown Portland, ORÃ¢â¬Â - Ã¢â¬Åwww.pdxzines.comÃ¢â¬Â - Our theme for the year is Ã¢â¬ÅZines? Zines!Ã¢â¬Â You may work with this theme in whatever way youÃ¢â¬â¢d like. The winner will receive: a 2006 Zine Symposium prize package, a poster, t-shirt and sticker with your design on it, and the fame of having your work all over town! Got an artistic streak? Start working on your designs now! This could be your big break, you knowÃ¢â¬Â¦ WeÃ¢â¬â¢re eagerly awaiting your submissions, which can be made by regular mail, email with attachment (to the above address), carrier pigeon or UPS. Please address all postal correspondence to: Independent Resource Publishing Center c/o Lani Schreibstein 917 SW Oak St. #218 Portland, OR 97205 Remember: the deadline is January 5th Ã¢â¬â thanks in advance.
