Description
This month we’re heading back to the classroom for the Editor’s Brief. As a new term dawns, we’re on a nostalgia trip here at IdeasTap HQ. From chalky board rubbers to vomit-coloured uniforms, swimming pool plasters to drawing pins on chairs, we want to see your work on the theme of:
SCHOOL
Whether it’s a distant memory or a recent trauma, we’re looking for work that reminds us of the teachers we fancied, the kids that took our lunch money and the snogs behind the bike sheds. Feel free to interpret the theme in any way you wish and respond in any discipline – from a short film to a photograph, a poem to a monologue.
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. Work 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...
How to respond
Apply by clicking on “Follow this brief” (in the left-hand column), then hit “Apply now”.
Use the name of your work where it asks for a Title and include a link to the items in the Presentation View of your portfolio in the Summary field, along with an explanation of how they fit with the theme.
Remember, the work you want us to judge must be in your IdeasTap portfolio.
Then hit “Submit”. Job done.
One final thing – please make sure you have a photo on your profile page. It doesn't need to be a headshot and you won't be judged on the quality of this picture – as with all the briefs on the site you have to have a profile picture to be eligible.
