CAITHNESS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE CALLOUT!
LAC is looking to commission 10-12 artists in Caithness and North Sutherland to each design a 2-page activity for a Christmas-themed, physical and digital, activity book: Caithness, Under the Christmas Tree.
Caithness, Under the Christmas Tree will follow a similar style and format to LAC's successful lockdown project: Caithness, Through My Window, but with a little bit of Christmas sparkle. We distributed over 800 physical copies of Caithness, Through My Window free of charge, and hope to reach at least the same again.
REQUIREMENTS:
We are looking for original and unique ideas so we can put together a variety of activities
The activity page must be 2 x A4 pages in length
The finished page must be submitted in .jpg or .pdf format, so a reasonable level of digital design skill will be required. We can provide templates, and will have a designer pulling the whole booklet together
Keep your proposals as inclusive as possible, so avoiding the need for any additional specialist equipment.
FEE:
The fee for each agreed submission is £294.00. We have calculated this at 8 hours x £36.75 (Scottish Artists union hourly rate), which should give you an indication of the level of work required. We will likely commission 10 - 12 artists to complete their designs.
TIMELINE:
Open call opens: Friday 16 October
Deadline for completing and submitting this form: Monday 2 November (midday)
We will let you know if you have been successful by Tuesday 3 November.
Print deadline for selected artists: Friday 13 November (5pm)
