  1. The Brief
  2. How to respond

Description

Let’s face it – February isn’t the greatest. In fact it’s officially the worst month of the year (ask scientists, psychologists or your mum). Luckily, there are two things this month to brighten the mood. The first is IdeasTap (obvs) with all our fantastic funding, festivals and opportunities to leave the country. Secondly, there are loads of awards ceremonies; January saw the Golden Globes, and in February it’s the Oscars, the infamous NME awards and the Grammys.

Which is why this month's Editor's Brief is on the theme of...

 

FAME

 

As always, this is a multi-disciplinary brief, so you can respond with anything from film to fiction.

 

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, and read about last month's winners, on the subject of "Stuffed"...

  • HI,
    Can I just check my video is OK? It's my first time submitting one so I just thought I'd double check you can watch it.

  • Hey, I realised that I have attached four images instead of four (they are just photographs linked in from facebook).

    Would I be able to submit it again with just 2 photos attached?

  • Hi Lina,

    Obviously no work you submit can breach copyright laws. You can copyright your own work before submitting - this won't affect your chances of winning. Could you give us a bit more information about what you were thinking of doing?

    Best,
