Show us your suburbia

Our neighbours from the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden have “posted” on their window two links: one for the official museum website, and another link to the Flickr group Show us your suburbia.

Show us your suburbia is a photographic competition. I really like the way they’re using Flickr to manage it.

Find out more about the competition here.

FutureLions 2009

From CR Blog:

Set up by AKQA three years ago, The Cannes Future Lions Awards is open to students around the world. This year, the challenge is to create an ad campaign for a global brand that would not have been possible five years ago.

There are no rules in terms of media or technology; no restrictions around product or target audience. The winners will be flown to Cannes and receive a delegate pass to the advertising festival.

Entry is free. Deadline: May 27. See futurelions.com

All you have to do is to keep your slighltly moving mouse hand over the car the longest, you get a 5 mnute break every hour. They had to have a knock out round before christmas and now the final is here. As I write there is 12 players left of the 175 players who got through and it has been going for 3 days.

Grand Master Flash Game Competition

Grand Master Flash at The Golden Joystick Award.
E4 are now sponsoring the Golden Joystick Award competition.

• The brief: make a flash game with E4 branding on it.
• The Prize: £5,000
• Deadline 15th of September
• What they (E4) say:
  “We’re on the look-out for the best Flash-based web game in the world, so if you dabble in the dark arts of Adobe Flash, glean satisfaction from a cool ActionScript, and have itchy developer’s fingers (nasty!), then we want you to send us something you know will knock our socks off…”

Yours, fully aware that I’m not the first to report this, but thinking I might as well let you guys know

EYE PETROL, new digital mag and competition

Eye Petrol is a a brand new user generated digital magazine. In fact it is so new the first issue is not even out yet. From what I can gather:
·By user generated they mean that people send in their work and then the people who work at Eye Petrol or Creative Pool, which seem to be behind it, choose what to put in the magazine.
·By digital they mean that the magazine is only published as a downloadable PDF.

So even if most of the content is sent in by the public the magazine itself is not a user generated magazine. And I guess PDFs at least give you the option to have hyperlinks, but at the end of the day it is not the most digital of formats today (its from 1993!). Would it not be better if the magazine came as a little flash site, was posted on Flickr or here on WordPress?

How ever they are also having a logo competition which is quite interesting, although I think it is as much of a web page design competition as a logo competition. I have entered it
