Midsumma’s 2024 Cover Art Commission NOW OPEN!

Midsumma-Covers-APNMelbourne’s Midsumma Festival is inviting artists, photographers, illustrators, designers and all creatives to enter a design that could become the front cover of the 2024 Midsumma Festival program guide and motif for the festival.

Midsumma is inviting you to submit draft sketches, designs, or creative examples of your ideas. We’re looking for a piece of art that captures the focus of Midsumma Festival 2024.

Proposed designs should consider the need to be representational of an entire arts festival program and have the scope to capture the essence of Midsumma’s focus across all artforms, inclusivity of diverse communities, across all age groups. Artwork must be suitable to be utilised by Midsumma Festival across various mediums and formats.

This is a paid commission with $3000 available for the successful proposal submitted. $500 is also available to artists who continue through to the final round. Anyone can enter!


Submissions are now open and close Friday 2 June 2023 – 5.00pm. For more information and design brief, visit: www.midsumma.org.au for details.
