Magyar falmatricák – pályázati felhívás
Pályázati felhívás
A Hellodesign.hu Magyar falmatricák címen pályázatot hirdet vektorgrafikus falmatricák tervezésére.
A pályázat célja a tehetséges művészek promótálásán túl olyan piacképes, művészeti értékkel bíró termékek létrehozása, melyek hozzájárulnak a kortárs művészet terjesztéséhez, a hazai vizuális kultúra fejlesztéséhez, egyidejűleg érvényesülési és kereseti lehetőséget biztosítva a programban résztvevők számára. A Hellodesign jelen programjában a pályázatoknál megszokott jutalmazási módszer, azaz a dobogós helyezettek alkalmi díjazása helyett, a lehető legtöbb művész folyamatos jövedelemhez való juttatását kívánja megvalósítani, a művészek tehetségét piacképessé és jövedelmezővé tenni.
