  2. How to respond

Description

From Manhattan to Mongolia, protest is happening all over the world, right now – indeed, most of us under the age of 30 can’t remember a time more dominated by people getting together, marching in the streets and asking for change.

With that in mind, this month's Editor’s Brief is on the theme of protest, which can be interpreted in any way you like – whether you’re sending in a short story about an occuption, a video of a march or a photograph of your cat protesting against a cold bath [not advised – Animal Rights Ed].

As always, this is a multi-disciplinary brief; that means you can respond with anything you like, be it poetry, prose, animation, video, photography, illustration etc. Editor's Brief is also open to all our members over the age of 16.

The person who submits the best piece of work will win £250 and become part of our IdeasTap alumni. Second prize is £100 and third prize is £50.

The work can be in any discipline you like, but it must relate to the theme. Members can only apply once. Your single entry is limited to:

  • Audio and video – no longer than two minutes
  • Text – no longer than 1,000 words
  • Images/photos – no more than two

Find out how to apply by clicking on How to respond at the top of this brief.

If you have any problems using the site or uploading your details, please contact info@ideastap.com and detail your problem clearly so that we can help.

 

This brief closes on Wednesday 30 November at 5pm.

  • Hi Allie,

    I'm afraid you can't edit your application once you've applied. We've checked your application and it looks like it's linked to the correct item. However, if you think you've made an error feel free to email the correct link to info@ideastap.com.

  • The link I supply always seems so long. Is this the correct way of doing it or is there a way to access a shorter link? Thanks, Carmina
