The City
Today we released our first new site-wide challenge The City. This is the latest RedBubble publication where we aim to showcase the best visual and written work on the Web.
A TShirt Competition is also on the way.
“The City” is open to all works that explore the complex, vibrant world of concrete, glass and humanity that are urban environments all over the world.
The best works will be selected for publication in “The City” to come out in November and available for sale through RedBubble. We publish these books regularly as a way for the RedBubble community to showcase their work in a professionally presented and designed book working with a copy editor. It’s one way RedBubble provides opportunities for professional development for its members.
Visual works are entered directly into this challenge. from works in your portfolio and then voted on. The top works will be selected for publication.
To enter written works go the group RedBubble The City and follow directions. Written works will be shortlisted and voted on by a group of judges.
The top written and visual work will receive $US 250 in cash each and a $US 250 RedBubble voucher. Each of the published works will receive a $US 40 voucher to purchase work on RedBubble.
We will be increasing the frequency of publication to be able to showcase more of the work on RedBubble and to cover more themes.
So expect an announcement soon about what the next publication will be.
We are aiming to make the publications, collectible (but affordable) which will mean relatively limited editions and consistent formatting. “Compassion” the most recent publication will be out soon.

Exciting stuff…can’t wait for the voting and then to see the final publication. There are so many wonderfully gifted and talented artsts on Red Bubble that I know the resulting book will be brilliant.
Oh and I’m rapt that you’re including written works this time too.
One question, how many entries can we submit, or is it limited to ONE?

Very interesting that this is posted on the 7th anniversary of the horrific attacks on NYC (and PA and the Pentagon). Of course I’m biased, but I view NYC as the the greatest city in the world and I have a feeling that Nancy Fischer would agree and cannot wait to see her entries into this contest – her work is amazing. Today I’m remembering those one-of-a-kind New York City men, women and children lost 7 years ago. I’m in a New York State of Mind.

Marvelous concept these books. To get into print is something all of us desire. Bravo RedBubble!!! I pity the people that will have to look through the artwork of 80,000 artists for this theme.
Michael Dreese
I love the concept and hope it leads to future projects.
PolishArt
Great idea !!!
TalBright

hey i was wondering do the pictures in the comp get auto shuffled because i found it most annoying to trawl all the way through one way to the end,there was sum good pics up there ,but bythe time u get there u seriously loose interest ,maybe a block tile set up where u can scan across for sumfin to catch ur eye,going to the end click by click is torturous,and then find the one u liked back a few hundred is worse,maybe u should put in a button for one’s shortlisted votes so u can quickly go back to them, and just to make u laugh mine was all the way back at 1017 click by click!
