Hi all,

We have recently launched a new competition for art & design postgrad students in the UK. See details below!

Embracing the spirit of the Avant Garde
A competition for postgrad creatives

From 1900 - 1937 the European Avant Garde embraced the spirit of revolt, challenge and change brought about by industrialisation and the decline of traditional hierarchies. It represents a pushing back of the boundaries of what is acceptable as the cultural norm in society.

The brief
We challenge you to design a piece of work which embraces the spirit of the avant garde, exploring whether its philosophy is relevant to you and the world today.

The prize
The winning entry will be displayed at the British Library flagship building in London and showcased on our website.

The judges
Graphic designer Peter Saville; typography expert Professor Phil Baines, Central Saint Martins; Madeleine Holt, culture correspondent, BBC Newsnight; leading authority on innovation and creativity, Charles Leadbeater; Caryl Harris, Creativeinterpartners.

The deadline
Friday 9 November 2007
