CALL for ENTRIES
American Documentary Showcase

POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION
WIN $1,000

The American Documentary Showcase is an overseas touring program of
prestigious contemporary American documentary films, sponsored by a
grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US
Department of State and administered by The University Film and Video
Association (UFVA) in partnership with The International Documentary
Association (IDA).

The Showcase is intended to promote American documentaries and their
filmmakers at international venues, including U.S. Embassy-organized
events overseas and/or U.S. Embassy-supported international
documentary film festivals.

Regulations for Design Competition:

The poster design can be two color or four color, and must include an
original logo that represents the international multicultural goals of
the Showcase. This logo will be used for a variety of purposes, so
its graphic elements must be transferable to CD sleeves, postcards,
website design, etc. The artist must certify that each poster and
logo design is original and has no copyright restrictions.

The poster design must also include the logos, rendered in small size,
of UFVA and IDA. These logos are available at documentary.org and
ufva.org.

No image from a single film or filmmaker should be featured; rather
the poster should reflect the diversity of American documentaries
through abstract or realist images and graphic design.

Each participant can submit a maximum of two different poster
designs. The winning submission becomes the property of UFVA, and no
royalties, other than the prize money, are due to the artist or any
person or institution affiliated with the design.

All files must be submitted digitally on CD, in either JPEG, or PDF
formats with 300 dpi resolution.

The dimensions of the completed poster should be: 21” horizontal by
29” vertical. Bleeds are acceptable.

Each entry should be saved on one CD and should be clearly labeled
with the name and contact information of the artist(s) as well as the
file name and the extension. A thumbnail of the artwork should be
pasted on the CD cover.

All entries should be accompanied with a brief summary of the artwork,
no more than 300 words, and should be included on the CD as a
Microsoft Word document or as a PDF.

Prizes

The Winning designer will receive US $1,000 and credit in Showcase
promotional materials. Posters printed from the winning design will
be exhibited at the 2009 UFVA Conference and appear on the websites of
UFVA and IDA.

Submission

Any US citizen is eligible to enter.

Entries will be judged by a panel of documentary and graphic
professionals drawn from the membership of IDA and UFVA.

The postmark deadline for submissions is Monday, December 1, 2008.
The winner will be announced in January 2009.

The winning design will need to be delivered in final form as a
layered file using Photoshop or equivalent.

Entries should be sent on CD-no online submissions accepted- to the
following address:

Makeup artist needed for this weekend, or ASAP (Raleigh)
———————————————————-

Date: 2008-10-06, 12:18PM EDT

This is an opportunity for a makeup artist that could lead to work on
an independent film. The gig is this weekend, and it’s a comedy skit
called “The Ralph Nader puppet show.”

This is from a sketch comedy group called “Easy Street”. The skit is
basically Ralph Nader putting on a puppet show for children, but
talking to them as if they all had degrees in economics.
Qualifications: able to do old man makeup. In particular, make a 28
year old man look as much like Ralph Nader as possible.

Again, one of the members of our troupe is looking for a makeup
artist for a feature movie, and if your work is good, he’ll use you
for that project. If you have samples of your work, that would be
great.

email Elliott @: erreece@gmail.com

Thanks
