You are invited to take part in the “Human Rights Illustrated” contest, organized by The Bulgarian Helsinki Committee and Compote Collective, where Maria Stanisheva will be one of the jury members. Works donated to the contest this year will be used to help improve the conditions at institutions for children with mental illness in Bulgaria. If selected, your illustration will be exhibited at a series of exhibitions, the first of which will be part of the Night/Plovdiv 2016 festival in September (a pretty amazing event!).
The Human Rights Illustrated competition is an experiment that challenges our imagination, creativity, and social sensitivity. It is an attempt to discuss human rights and focus on social issues through a medium everyone can understand. The invitation is open to a wide range of artists: web or graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, typographers, architects, conceptual artists or creative thinkers to take part via an illustration, inspired by one of the basic human rights fromThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Deadline: 15 August, more details here. Please share the word and apply!
