Standon Calling Killer T-Shirt Design Competition

Deadline for entries: 21st June 2010

Standon Calling is an independent festival that’s constantly stretching the boundaries to create the most vibrant and varied experience possible. It is a festival that strives to promote new musical talent, but Standon Calling is about much more than just the music.

That’s why they are asking any talented designers, artists and illustrators out there to help give their festival merchandise a new face. Tired of the same old festival branding, the Standon Calling team have enlisted some established artists and illustrators to give the t-shirts a new twist. These t-shirts will be available via the website from June. As well as this, they will be running a design competition, conceived as a way of supporting up and coming creatives, as well as reinvigorating the world of festival branding.

This year’s theme is ‘Murder on the Standon Express’ so think murder, mystery, mayhem and madness. A panel of established arts professionals will judge the designs, with the winner receiving two VIP festival packages including boutique camping, as well as seeing their T-shirt printed. The winning artist will also be featured on the festival website. This isn’t a money-making exercise, so any proceeds will be donated to charity.
