Process
We request three intital ideas for artwork. These can be very rough. We will then select one idea to develop further. This will be followed by approximately 3 draft versions where the concept and execution is fine tuned. These draft versions will be accompanied by meetings between the artist and festival marketing team to help steer the process towards a mutually agreed design.
Approx timescale
This is negotiable, but the deadline for final work is 11 June.
