  1. The Brief
  2. How to respond

Description

From eggs to editors to paving slabs, everyone's getting laid this month. There must be something in the calendar.

 

So we want you to have fun with this month's theme; think plans, punches and pipes. Think laid back, laid to rest and laid out. Think laid bare, well laid and getting laid. Most of all, just think.

 

As always, this is a multi-disciplinary brief; that means you can respond with anything from music to animation to illustration to prose. Editor's Brief is also open to all our members, whatever your age. So now's the time to pick up a little extra cash for your creativity and put a spring in your step.

 

The person who submits the best piece of work will win £300 and become part of our IdeasTap alumni. Two runners up will also win £100 each.

 

The work can be in any discipline you like, but it must relate to the theme. Due to an increasing amount of volume, 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 the “How to respond” tab at the top of this brief.

  • Massive apologies - I seem to be unable to follow 'How to Respond' sections. I didn't include a link to the piece in my portfolio when I submitted, but here it is in case it's any good to give it to you here: http://www.ideastap.com/people/0e20118d-487c-426b-af88-32e78f4c1cbb/portfolio/46577930-bae1-4cee-8760-9ed60164f94a/4c1b2790-45cd-4a35-ad32-9ee100d08e73/?tracker=0e20118d-487c-426b-af88-32e78f4c1cbb:-1:1279997281

  • Hi all,

    Aisha - Please try uploading your document as a PDF, also make sure you're uploading it to your portfolio. If it's still not working email us at info@ideastap.com.

    Maya - All you need to do is, first, upload your work to your portfolio, then, copy the URL in the address bar and paste it in to the Summary box when you apply.

    Florence - That's fine, don't worry about it!

    Best,

    Joe

  • Hi Joe, I appear to have accidentally typed my own name into the box where I was supposed to put the title of my own work. I can't seem to find a way to fix this, or delete the submission and try again - will my inability to follow basic instructions hinder my chances in the contest? Just for the record, the actual title is "It Ended With a Vanishing Act".

  • )Also, the attach a file (one file) has confused me because we are allowed two photos, so it can't mean the entries? Or can it?

    Thanks

  • Hey, what do you mean by 'include a link' to the work in your portfolio in the summary box? I'm sure it's super obvious sorry!

    Thanks, Maya

  • Hi Aisha,

    I'm afraid you can only apply once and so you'll have to find a way of mixing the text and audio together if you want to submit both.

    I hope this helps,
