Living Lerwick Project Managers are calling on artists and designers to take part in a competition to design a new mascot for Lerwick Town Centre.
The brief is to come up with a fun, appealing and, potentially, loveable(!) character to represent the spirit of Lerwick town centre. The mascot will be used in various campaigns and feature in events and activities throughout the town.
Project Manager, Emma Miller, said “This is a great opportunity for any young, or experienced, designer to come up with something to introduce a bit of fun into the to the area. The scope is fairly wide, but we want something that just symbolises the toon centre when you see it.”
Entries should consist of an original design featuring a single character which is representative of Lerwick town centre, and should have a suitable name.
A prize of £100 is being offered to the winning entry, to spend in any of the shops or businesses within the Business Improvement District covered by the Living Lerwick remit.
Entries should be submitted by Friday 29th June accompanied by an entry form. DOWNLOAD ENTRY FORM HERE.
