BRIEF 2014
This brief was only made available as print-outs in the exhibition space of Stereohype's 10th anniversary show.
Deadline: October 31st, 2014 (extended exhibition and submission deadline: November 8th, 2014)
We are pleased to announce the 10th annual 1" (25mm) Stereohype Button Badge Design Competition and look forward to receiving your submissions. Exceptionally this year we do not run this competition online but give visitors to our anniversary exhibition here at the LCC a chance. Please create your artwork(s) right here and now and leave everything together with your details and signature. You will be notified during and after judging period.
There are two categories you can win in: ‘single’ badge entries and ‘sets of four’. Sets will automatically also be added to the single entries category. Although we love ‘sets of four’ – please bear in mind, that we are aiming to give quite a lot of them away one at a time (although sets will be made available in a special packaging).
ELIGIBLE are entries by visitors to this exhibition. Minimum age must be 18 or over – unless you submit in the name of your child* (but you have to sign for your child then). NOT ELIGIBLE however are contributors to our B.I.O. (By Invitation Only), 10x10, MICA and AFOMFS Series and former competition winners who are now more than welcome to become part of the judging panel that will as always consist of design journalists, professionals and previous winners.
Your artwork(s) will have to be created by yourself and should obviously not infringe any copyrights! Winners will give Stereohype automatically a NON-exclusive licence to reproduce the winning artwork(s) on badges and Stereohype-badge-related promotional materials such as postcards, catalogues etc. By submitting your artwork(s) you agree on these terms and conditions. A shortlist will also be featured at stereohype.com crediting the artists and designers.
Please note that we obviously do not tolerate religiously offending, racist or sexually explicit visuals, nor do we accept imagery that plays down the danger of weapons.
Please check stereohype.com for competition updates.
We can’t wait to see your design(s). Good luck!
* Kids were only allowed in 2014 as part of the family-friendly exhibition activities...
