FARMFEST DESIGN COMPETITION
We have teamed up with Farmfest and created a design competition that will give 1 talented winner the opportunity to showcase their work through an amazing art installation at the festival in August. The winner will also receive a ticket to the festival for them and a friend, tee-shirts and bar spend.
The brief is simple: design anything you like to fill an area no larger than 6ftx6ft - anything goes and it can be any of the shape templates shown below. The final installation will consist of 4 uniquely designed shapes, which will sit close to the Shapes' guest tent at Farmfestival. Each winner will be given the opportunity to head to the festival early in order to create their design from materials provided and oversee its installation.
Please send all entries to art@dontpaniconline.com with the Subject: ''FARMFEST SHAPES'
More information about the festival can be found on their website: farmfestival.co.uk & through the Shapes Facebook page: facebook.com/shapesbristol
Good luck!

Despite growing from an initial 300 in 2006 to their current 4500 capacity, Farmfest has stuck to it's original ideals to help preserve a unique and intimate DIY festival experience. Here's what Farmfest have to say for themselves:
"Farmfestival started as a party for friends and has stayed that way 9 years on. We’re a festival that doesn’t believe in hype or inflated prices. What we do believe in is a genre-defying selection of music from emerging talents, cult heroes & local gems, inspiring arts activities, amazing charities and great local produce, set to a beautiful Somerset vista. Or to put it simply: Good music, good causes, good times."
DESIGN THE POSTER
We have been working with Jim from Jim'll Paint It to judge the last poster competition of 2013. We supplied him with the 10 entries most voted for by you guys, and we are pleased to announce that he has chosen Ian M's piece with the tagline "Too much on my mind makes me panic".
About IanM's entry, Jim said:
"Absolutely love it. I really have a thing for chaos communicated in intricate and deliberate ways be it in visual art or music and this really hit the spot. A very smartly rendered representation of the sometimes overwhelming disorder of the panicked mind."
Winning Entry by IanM!
Well done and congratulations, your poster will be printed and distributed in packs nationwide as the first poster of 2014!
