Hi all,

Recieved this email below and thought it might be of interest to some of you

Calling all street artists, writers and vandals! Channel 4’s Street Summer is here! Enter your work with Don’t Panic to win big - http://www.dontpaniconline.com/street_summer/

Channel 4 and Don’t Panic are running a design competition on Don’t Panic Online for all budding designers, graffers and street artists to come up with an original, creative design. The winners of the competition will have their design used as an advertisement for Channel 4’s Street Summer schedule of programming, as well as having their design printed on postcards and the Don’t Panic Poster to be distributed around the UK.

The focus of the competition is to find new talent to help promote Street Summer across the UK in the only way which makes sense; using the competition winners’ designs as massive outdoor advertisements.

The winning entries need to 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.

Entrants will represent their region and the winning piece for each region will appear in a major city from their part of the UK.
