Description
All that glitters is good enough for us.
Whether you’re an Olympian or just a fairground fish, gold is the magic metal. To celebrate, this season’s Editor’s Brief is turning on the alchemy and going for gold.
As always, the Editor’s Brief is open to all ages and disciplines. That means you.
To ensure that creatives of all disciplines get a fair crack of the whippet, we’ve split the brief into three disciplines and running it quarterly, rather than monthly.
There are three categories for you to apply to. There will be a first (£250), second (£100) and third (£50) prize in EACH of the following categories:
1. Audio and video – no longer than two minutes
2. Text – no longer than 1,000 words
3. Visual arts/photographs – no more than two
That’s NINE prizes in total. Cool for cats.
The summer theme is GOLD and you can have as much fun as you want with the theme – we’re looking for originality, talent and creativity.
All first prize winners will become part of our alumni. Please note that you can only apply to one category of this brief.
This brief closes on 31 August at 5pm and is open to IdeasTap members based in the UK. If you have any technical queries, please visit the help centre. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.
