Dreaming of Front Cover Fame? Adelaide’s Feast Festival is shouting out to all artists, photographers, illustrators, designers and all creatives to enter a design that could become the front cover of the 2023 Feast Festival Program Guide.
Feast Festival is re-introducing the Front Cover Commission for 2023 and are seeking sketches or an outline of your concept along with a sample of your past creative work. You must supply a brief written synopsis that explains your concept and symbolism. The selected applicant will receive $1,000 to create the artwork.
Feast is entering a new phase under new leadership and they want to visually capture this turning point in history. Think of the following words as inspirational themes: Nostalgia, Phoenix Rising, Turning a page, Next chapter, Revival and Renewal.
