Channel 4 & Dont Panic - Street Art Graffiti Competition (on now)

COMPETITION CLOSES - 17TH JULY 2011


HOW TO ENTER STREET ART GRAFFITI COMPETITION



Step 1: Create your Street Summer piece Your piece should represent one of the five elements of street culture which the Street Summer season is featuring: street dance, urban sports, spoken word, hip hop and street art. Write, draw, collage, sketch or render your work in any way you like. How you make this work is up to you.  Remember your piece is art but also it needs to work to promote Channel 4's season. The better your piece looks the more chance you will have of winning but we will accept entries on pen and paper which have been scanned or photographed. Remember the idea is what counts not your computer skills!


Step 2: How to win To win you will need to be in the top ten by vote. These top ten entries will be judged by Channel 4 and the mentor from your area.  Remember to watch the video of the mentor as they talk about what they want to see and as one of the judges what they say counts.  The top ten entries will be featured in a wall of fame on our competition site.


Step 3: Upload to your area When you have completed your design click on the area of the UK where you live and upload your piece to that section. It is a good idea to make sure you have uploaded your entry before voting starts otherwise you will miss out on votes. If you're unsure which region you fall in to, please check our FAQs below.


Step 4: Boost your work
The best piece will win but you may want to boost your chance by posting your work to your blog, Facebook and Twitter and ask your friends and family to sling some votes your way.


Step 5: What You Win You will work with the artist from your region to render your piece on a high profile wall (or maybe billboard!) in your region. The work will be up for two weeks. Your work will feature on the Don't Panic Poster. Your work will feature on a postcard which will distributed across the country in Don't Panic Packs. You will be paid £300 for the use of your work. You will be featured in a short film about your work. 


The Rules


There will be seven winners, one from each region of the UK according to our map below. To win you must be in the top ten entries by vote in your region. These top ten entries will then be judged by Channel 4 and the mentor from your area. We will remove any offensive pieces so don't bother uploading them! No toys and no biting! Please see our FAQs below for more details.
