PROVIDE THE CENTREPIECE FOR NOZSTOCK FESTIVAL AND GET IN FREE
Nozstock is a fantastic festival taking place in the Summer heat (hopefully!) of July in beautiful Herefordshire. More intimate than it’s big brothers, Glastonbury and Reading, it is attracting some glowing reviews and some class music acts. Interaction has always been at the very heart of Nozstock and this year for the very first time there is a competition for Nozstockers to design and build the centrepiece of the festival which will be displayed in the middle of the lake. The winner will receive two free festival passes, a feature on the Nozstock website and inclusion in this year’s festival programme and publicity campaign.
Are you the creator of a strong, visionary sculpture that deserves to be seen by many or perhaps you have a concept that could be developed in time to exhibit?
We want to see your existing images or preliminary sketches. The winner of the competition will have their work presented at Nozstock as the focal artwork present at 2010’s festival.
The piece should complement the ‘Handmade’ theme of the festival and needs to be no heavier than a ton, no wider at the base than 4 foot and no taller than 15 foot. Works should be unique and hardy, capable of dealing with the English elements.
The centrepiece will be visible from the festival site looking down on the lake in the Coppice field. It will be backed by a canvas of display lighting of the field’s perimeter trees and highlighted through the festival day and night.
All entries are to be received by midnight Friday, May 28th 2010. The winner will be informed by June 4th, providing artists with unmade sculptures one month for completion. Please do not enter the competition if you will not be able to complete your sculpture within the month (Nozstock will not provide material costs).
