An open call international competition to design a bookmark - for performing arts books.  Six winning designs will be distributed at the July 2011 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space.

Centre for Performance Research (CPR) announces a new design contest:

We’d like you to design a bookmark that people won’t be able to resist picking up.

You can use inspiration from the CPR gallery of selected images and texts from CPR’s history or simply use the theme of ‘performance’ as a starting point.

The six winning designs will be printed and made available at the July 2011 Prague Quadrennial of Performance, Design and Space where up to 30, 000 visitors are anticipated and where we will be managing the official Quadrennial bookshop. We will also send out bookmarks every time we post a book to one of our thousands of customers in the UK or abroad.

The reverse of each bookmark will be printed with the winning artists name and with the address of this website where we will exhibit bookmark designs and if you wish we will provide your email/website link so that site visitors can contact you.

The entry deadline for bookmark designs is Monday 9th May 2011. For full competition entry details and a downloadable bookmark template please scroll down or visit the CPR website.
