Graphic Designer Opportunity- Celebration of Light

The Celebration of Light is the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world, and 2011 marks the 21st anniversary of this free, family, fun event. This legendary event is quickly approaching as the days grow longer and the nights become warmer.
To celebrate the start of the 3rd Decade of this event, a special contest has been added to the festival to allow the community to get involved, and demonstrate their love and support for the summer event that brings people together; this contest is a t-shirt design challenge.

The T-shirt Design Contest
This contest encourages anyone who has a love for design to show their support for the Celebration of Light and create a t-shirt that will be sold publicly and worn by thousands of Fireworks Supporters at the 2011 event.
Contestants must submit a photo (in high resolution .jpg format) of their t-shirt design by 5:00PM Friday April, 22 to fireworks@brandlivegroup.com, or mail a full colour hard copy to 165-1020 Mainland Street, Vancouver, BC. V6B 2T5.

The Design Requirements
• Full colour
• Two-sided content (front and back of the shirt)
• Appropriate for black and white t-shirts, as that is what the design will be printed on
• Embodies the spirit of the free, family, fun event
• No profanity or inappropriate images

Why Compete?
This contest is an excellent way for designers to have their name recognized and their design seen by over 1 million people over the 3 nights of the fireworks.
The winning design will be unveiled on Monday May 2, and t-shirts will be available for public sale through the Celebration of Light website (www.vancouverfireworks.ca).
Winners will receive four free reserved bleacher seats to get the best view of the fireworks in the city. The winner will also have the opportunity to meet the contest judges for a lunch, to get to know Vancouver’s elite fashion and design leaders. These judges will be revealed in the up coming weeks.

This design will become the official Celebration of Light merchandise piece for 2011 with all proceeds from the sale of these shirts going to support the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society.
Without the incredible support that is shown by the community every year, the Celebration of Light would not stay alive. Get involved and show your love for the fireworks so memories can continue to be made.

*Please note the winning design submission becomes the property of the Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, with recognition given to the designer.
