2012 New England Public Radio Art Mug

Submit Your Design for the 2012 New England Public Radio Art Mug!

What do WFCR and all-news WNNZ mean to you? We are looking for a design created exclusively for New England Public Radio that reflects in some way your interpretation or appreciation of the station, our programming, or even our home in western New England. We welcome all submissions from collage, to pen and ink, to photography - as long as it translates well on a coffee mug! The winning design will be posted on our website and will also be described over the air during the pledge drive for our listeners. If your design references the station by name, please be sure to use "New England Public Radio"

The design chosen for the mug will be decided in-house at New England Public Radio and the chosen artist will be notified the second week in October.

The deadline for submission is October 5, 2012.

Please mail your submission to: Vanessa Cerillo – New England Public Radio – Hampshire House – 131 County Circle – Amherst, MA 01003-9257 or via email to vcerillo@nepr.net. Include your name, address, email, phone number, and where you saw this opportunity listed.

Questions? Contact Vanessa Cerillo at 413-545-9717 or vcerillo@nepr.net.

Design Specifications:

• The printing space is 4 1/8 inches high and 8 5/8 inches wide. The image will wrap around the mug almost from handle to handle.

• The artwork will be affixed to the mug from a paper decal and kiln fired so the artwork's colors are preserved. This is a four color sublimation process.

• A caption such as "designed for New England Public Radio by ... 2012" must be included. It can run along the edge of the artwork (within the printing space) or be incorporated into the design.

• We request that a design be exclusively made for New England Public Radio and that we retain the original art for the station's permanent collection.

See below for examples of the designs chosen in the last six years.
