Manchester Airport Design Competition
Are you an emerging creative designer? Do you have a flair for eye-catching images? Do you want your work seen by thousands of passengers at one of the UK’s busiest airports?
As part of our forthcoming, internationally renowned young people’s theatre festival Contacting the World we are teaming up with Manchester Airport to provide one lucky designer the opportunity to design a banner to cover one of the walls of the Arrivals lounge in Terminal One. Located in the perfect place to catch thousands of travellers entering Manchester this will be a great opportunity to display your work and enhance your CV.
Contacting the World is a pioneering international theatre project which redefines how young people communicate to each other on a global scale. Held every two years the festival twins youth performance companies from across the world. Over ten months the participants - via the internet and exchange visits - share ideas and collaborate to create new pieces of theatre. These are then performed at a week-long festival which this year will be held at Contact, Manchester, July 19 to 25.
The Brief
The design needs to be an exciting, eye-catching advertisement for Contacting the World. It needs to show the key messages of the festival which are:
- Contacting the World is a unique and revolutionary project - there is nothing else like it in the world.
- Contacting the World helps hundreds of young people from across the globe come together to develop their work and share experiences.
- Contacting the World is centred around the use of online communication and social media.
- Contacting the World is based at Contact, Manchester.
The design must appeal to people who are unfamiliar with Contact and Contacting the World so it should be clear, direct and engaging.
The design must include:
Title – Contacting The World
Tagline – Manchester’s International Young People’s Theatre Festival
Dates – July 19 to 25 2010
