Awards: $3000 minimum contracts to artists who have the Flink12 vision
Calling all artists and graphic designers to enter the Flink12 call for icon art. Become a Flink12 artist with your art featured and promoted globally through the Flink12 network. We are looking for original, fun and highly expressive icons for the Flink12 social network. These are the status update icons used by hoards of Flinkers every day and are used on the web and on mobile Apple devices and Android. Capturing emotions and expressions in icons is not as easy as it looks therefore it is hard to judge from non icon work. Examples from previous icon work can be submitted along with a statement of how you would approach our project.
ELIGIBILITY
Submission is open to artists anywhere in the world. Only original artwork, conceived and created by the entrant, will be considered.
PREPARING YOUR ENTRY
1. Create a Flink12 account with a minimum of 6 people in your Flink.
2. You must submit at least 4 icons, one in each category of mood, health, activity and event. Title the icon set and attach a word or two for the meaning of each icon. Art must be submitted in 144x144 pixels or dpi digital files saved as .png. Email to artcompetition@flink12.com
3. All submitted icons will be reviewed by Flink12 and if your art is chosen, we will notify you by email. There will be no payment for submitted icons. These icons will not be released to the public.
4. If you are selected for publication of a feature set, Flink12 will commission you on a work for hire contract for a minimum US $3,000 contract to expand on the icon theme you submitted. Flink12 can select several top icon artists for contracts. Most Flink12 icons themes-Teens, Divas, Sports- contain 60 or more icons so you must be prepared to create many icons based on your submission theme.
6. Artists may also be selected to create custom artwork for other aspects of Flink12.
7. The program starts May 1, 2011, and can be ended by Flink12 at any time.
8. Review of artwork is ongoing and artists may be selected for feature icon sets at any time.
