Competition Seeks Illustrator to Bring Cleveley Mythic Coastline to Life
Angela McKay - 02/09/10
Ever fancied seeing your artwork in a published book, or brought to life by a sculptor? Then grab your pens - or your computer mouse - because the hunt is on to find a talented illustrator for a brand new children's book exploring the history, landscape and folklore of the Cleveleys coast.Lancashire literature agency Litfest and Wyre Borough Council have launched an open competition to find an illustrator for the Mythic Coastline project, which is developing stories, illustrations, public art works and events to inspire and enthuse local people and visitors to the Lancashire coastline between Cleveleys and Fleetwood. Critically acclaimed children's author Gareth Thompson is writing the book, provisionally titled Between the Moon and the Earth, which will highlight some of the area's diverse environments - including the Bowland Forest, the fishing harbour at Fleetwood and the sand dunes at Rossall - as well as mythic or unseen features such as petrified forests and shipwrecks.
Not only will the book will be published in hardback next year by Foxtail, an imprint of Litfest Publications, as well as in e-book format, but it will also provide the inspiration for public art works to be created by sculptor Stephen Broadbent. And there's a commission fee of £8,000 up for grabs too.
'We're looking for imaginative, sparky illustrations which invoke the spirit,
history and folklore of this fascinating landscape,' said Andy Darby, Artistic Director of Litfest, who will edit the book. 'We've got a great writer on board - now we need a fantastic illustrator who can give the book another dimension.'
Councillor Lynne Bowen, Wyre Borough Council Cabinet member with responsibility for culture, added: "The council has a vision for the Mythic Coastline to capture the imagination of all who see it. This is an extra special project, so it's only right that we search for an exceptional illustrator who can make Wyre's new waterfront come alive.
Entrants are asked to complete an application form and submit two examples of their work. Full entry details, terms and conditions, and the application form can be found on the http://www.wyreway.org/mythic website, or can be obtained by calling 01524 62166. The deadline for entries is 27th September 2010. *See details…
