Hi Challengers

Challenge 20 is a little different for you!

Theme/Criteria: The title of this challenge is “Collaboration”, we are focusing on any subject you wish, but the entries must be a collaboration effort between TWO PERMITTING AND WILLING ARTISTS [please ask other artists before using their work].

What can you submit?: collaborating artists must be members of Challenge Cafe

Images accompanied by a written piece by another artist – you must add the writing to your description or provide a link to the written piece

Written work accompanied by an image provided by another artist – you must provide a link to the image in your description

Images where two artists have contributed toward the finished piece

Only ONE artist needs to submit the entry, however both artists will recieve a prize [the full weekly 15.00 GBP] in the event that it wins – this challenge will run over two weeks for this to be possible

Deadline: May 18th, 2008, 9.00 pm GMT If your entry isn’t in by that time, consider yourself disqualified.

Instructions: Your entry MUST be tagged with CCW20 AND submitted to the group! If you do not tag your work or submit it to the group, it will not show up in our list and so, it will not be included in the judging so it must be tagged and submitted to the group!

Restrictions: You may only have ONE ENTRY PER CHALLENGE!

Guidelines: You MUST follow the RedBubble code of conduct and our group guidelines as stated below:
No pornographic, offensive or abusive material
Please show respect for your fellow Bubblers and hosts while making comments
Moderator decisions are absolute and final

I am a little confused. Would you need to get the permission from the other artist, to use their words or images?

Yes Tiamaria – I have edited the post topic to reflect that now

Ummm…I have only one collaboration piece and you were my collaborator Julie…don’t spose I can enter it…(sigh).

I am willing to allow any writer out there whom is a student and wishes to use one of my photos. If the entry is fortunate enough to win, they can keep all the prize money. Being a uni student once myself, I know how difficult it is, and now I try to help students where I can. Just let me know before hand by bubblemail.

Okay.

Because it’s difficult to work out who is a member of Challenge Cafe and who isn’t, I hereby propose:

1. If anyone, reading this, cares to go look at my photos and finds one that they would like to write about – either a caption, or commentary on a journal entry – BM me with “Challenge Cafe” in the first line so I see it!

2. If anyone, reading this, would like to take part, and would like to provide the photo for someone else to comment on/caption, BM me with “Photo Challenge Cafe” in the first line so I see it! – and I’ll look over your photos and ask which one I can use.

If we win, we do with the prize money whatever the group mod suggests as a default.

Hi Cynthia – you can contact a member of the group [or anywhere on Redbubble] and see if they would like to add words to your work – they can then join Challenge Cafe and you can submit the entry that way.

@Yonmei – your idea is great.

Don’t be afraid to contact artists who may not be members of this group – it could be that they just dont know about it, and would be happy to collaborate with you and join up to enter.

I think Ive just added mine and a friends work to the group..
I put CCW20 AND in the tag line..Is that right?

@fireandice

As long as you have had permission to use the other artists poem for your entry it is fine – you are both members of challenge cafe, but they need to give their permission for you to use it in this challenge for two reasons.

1. for ethical and legal reasons all artists should have their permission sought before using their work
2. They MUST know that you have used it in this challenge because they may want to enter [with another piece of work or artist] and if entered, unknowingly already, this will prevent them from doing so.

If anybody wants use any of my images for this challenge they are welcome to just as long as they contact me first

I would be delighted to offer any of my images to this challenge, if you wish to add words to any, please let me know first.

i’m in… anyone wanna colab?

Sounds like fun. If any of my images inspire or fit into a piece for collaboration, contact me

My images are up for the challenge. Anyone interested in collaborating please mail me

Hi. I am looking for a writer who would be interested in the project. If you are interested have a look at the kind of pictures I take… If you think it fits with the kind of things you write there might be a good collaboration to be done…

Hi, just wanted to say I’m in too, so if anyone would like to add a piece of writing to one of my images, just let me know and i’m sure we can arrange something. Thanks :)

Are any artists still looking for a writer to colloborate with? I’m available

my images are available if anyone would like to collaborate with me. please bm me if interested

I have found an artist willing to collaborate with me but I don’t know how to link the 2 together (a written piece and artwork).
Please help me in my vagueness!

Hi Amanda – first decide who is going to post [it makes no difference which artist posts the work into the group, it will be a joint entry]. If you are going to post the work, then you will need to type the name of the second artist into your description and paste the url [website address in the address bar] of their piece after it as well – it wont be a link, but we will be able to go to it using the address you have provided.

Thankyou Julie, it worked (eventually, after a few attempts on my behalf). We are working out our final look and will post our entry soon. Thankyou for your fast reply. Being new to RedBubble, I am still trying to work it all out – I am getting there slowly, with a great deal of help from fellow RedBubblers!

Alison,
are you still looking for a photographer to write for? I would like to do this with you. Please feel free to look at my work (being updated again today) and let me know if you would like any of my work to combine together. Bubblemail me please

Wonderful idea! love it :O))))

Dont forget to check out Rebubble writing tab, and see what talented writers are out there – and dont be afraid to contact them to see if they would like to work with you. Remember also, it doesnt have to be image and writing – perhaps another artist can work with your image to make a completely different image – thats also a collab.

Thanks for that Julie, never thought of doing it that way.
