This is an all encompassing competition but includes an entry of up to 100 words. So get writing!
People from all over the world are invited to
celebrate Dublin in a way that is compelling, innovative and popular. From a few
simple words to short films, the competition is open to everyone, amateurs and
professionals alike.
We're looking for entries that celebrate Dublin
today. If you have something original to say, we want to hear it. Show us
something that surprises or delights us. It could be a cartoon of your
favourite character or a poem on Sandymount Strand. It could be a poster for
the new Dublin or a piece of local slang as we've never seen or heard it before.
It could be a painting, a slogan, a piece of propaganda or even a song. Make us
look at Dublin with fresh eyes. Your eyes.
All you have to do is make a piece of work in one
of the competition categories and send it to us. Works will be shortlisted by
our distinguished panel of judges and then the public will decide the overall
winner.
Why Enter?Not only will you
have a say in Dublin's identity, but your work could be seen by thousands of
people, and there are loads of prizes to be won.
There will be an exhibition of the winning entries
in the Little Museum of Dublin in April 2013, submissions will be shown on
billboards all over Dublin City, and prizes for the best work, including €10,000
for the overall winner and €1,000 for each of the category winners!
