You got to give it to ’em – Smirnoff certainly knows how to do things in style. Their latest venture, Smirnoff Ten, is an awesome concept, bringing the idea of reality tv, documentaries, travel, multi-culturalism, brand activation etc all into one powerful punch… They’re looking for ten people to spend a year partying around the world with Smirnoff – wow – the auditions are this week so hurry!!! The lucky South African that makes it will be one lucky b*stard although we’re certain travelling together with the same 10 people for a year will take it’s toll and be filled with ups and downs and lots of babelaas…. SMIRNOFF EXPERIENCE IS LOOKING FOR ONE LUCKY SOUTH AFRICAN TO TRAVEL THE WORLD FOR TWELVE MONTHS OF ORIGINAL FUN As part of its launch of Smirnoff Experience, the makers of Smirnoff announced that they are beginning a global search to recruit ten consumers who will travel the world in search of original nightlife experiences. This original initiative – dubbed The Smirnoff Ten – will select ten people from across the world who will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel together for a year re-tracing the journey of the Smirnoff brand. This adventure will be documented through short films, blogs, photos and other media. Now the search has begun for the lucky South African who will ultimately be part of the exclusive Smirnoff Ten. As part of the journey, the team of globetrotters will travel to Smirnoff Experience events around the world. The journey kicks off in Moscow at the end of September then to Shanghai in January, 2008. Paris will be the next leg of the journey with New York hosting the final event in September 2008.

Smirnoff is seeking fresh talent who may have experience as writers, photographers, reporters, presenters, cameramen, editors or they could be any other creative individuals.

Represent Reminder: Sasol New Signatures closing!
*ARTISTS this is just a reminder to get entering! Entries close 6 June* For the last two years now we’ve supported the Sasol New Signatures competition, the search for the freshest artistic talent coming through the ranks…last year they had a fat R100k to give away to the winners and this year it’s the same (what no inflation?). What we love about the competition is that there is a dedicated section for NEW MEDiA – yes that’s all you digital designer gurus. And you can enter your work online – now there’s no excuse but to give it a bash. The other two categories include installation, photography, drawing, sculpture and painting so it’s pretty broad. You’ve got a month to create your winner… so Artists get going. Make sure you’re over 18 and make sure you abide by the rules and get your work in by/on Tues 5 June and Wed 6 June. More info here. Online entries for the Sasol New Signatures Competition 2007 are open. Aspiring young artists can register and enter their works between 2 May and 6 June 2007 at www.sasolsignatures.co.za. The online facility provides artists with a secure and cost-effective platform to present works for the first round of judging. It also extends accessibility to the competition beyond the six national collection points and physical submission dates. To enter online, artists are required to register a profile on the website before submitting a work. Online entries must be submitted in one of three categories: * Category A includes all two dimensional artworks and incorporates drawings, photography and all types of paintings. * Category B includes three dimensional artworks such as sculptures and installations. * Category C is for all new media. This may involve videos and electronic applications. Feedback from last year’s entrants showed that the cost of transporting works to the exhibition is a barrier to entry for many young artists. For the 2007 competition Sasol has entered into a partnership with Stuttaford Van Lines to sponsor the transportation of works selected for the exhibition from the regional collection points in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Bloemfontein to Pretoria. Artists will be responsible for the secure packing and of crating works for transportation. The online submission facility and a transportation partnership with Stuttaford Van Lines provide an inexpensive and safe option for young cash-strapped artists to take part in the competition. Physical submissions will be accepted on Tuesday, 5 June 2007 and Wednesday, 6 June 2007 between 10:00 and 16:00 at the national collection points in Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria. The competition is open to up-and-coming South African...
