YOUR ENTRY
Each eligible Saatchi Online or STUART graduate (see section 5) will be able to submit one Entry only. The Entry should take into consideration the 50-foot-high metal '4' (the “Big 4”) which has been constructed on the steps of Channel 4's headquarters in Horseferry Road, London SW1. Your Entry will need to work with this pre-existing structure and you may wish to visit the site before uploading your Entry.
Your application must include the following:
1. no more than 300 words about the work of art you would like to make to go outside Channel 4's headquarters - bearing in mind that your work must incorporate the Big 4;
2. no more than 4 images relating to your Entry. These can be drawings, photographs of models/maquettes of your work or any other images you feel are relevant to convey the work you’d like to make;
3. no more than 6 images of work you have made since graduating in 2006 or 2007;
4. information about the UK college, art school or university you attended, and the degree that you took (BA, MA or another post-graduate course);
5. information about where you where born, your contact details and your age; and
6. a photo of yourself.
Prizes
The competition will be judged by Saatchi and Channel 4 who will be looking for an entry which they believe will take the Big 4 in a dramatically new direction, work in an ambitious and original way with the existing structure, is suitable and is fully feasible within the timeframe given for this competition. Please contact us if you wish to request a list of the judges. In all matters, the decision of the judges will be final and no correspondence or discussions shall be entered into.
The competition will close at 6pm on 13 April 2008 and the winner will be notified by email before the end of April. Return of any prize notification as undeliverable or failure to reply in accordance with the notification (and within the time stated) may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.
Once a winning entry has been selected and the winner has been notified, Channel 4 will (at its sole discretion) engage a third party supplier to reproduce the winning entry on the Big 4 (the “Commission”). The launch date for the Commission is intended to take place around April 2008 but an exact date for launch will be confirmed by Channel 4 nearer the time.
