Shetland News celebrates

To celebrate the first birthday of our new website on 22 March 2012, Shetland News is launching a special competition in association with the local graphic design and print company Artmachine.

We are asking our readers to design a celebratory masthead for us. Winning entries will replace the website’s existing design for one week each.

Entrants will be split into four age groups 5-10 years; 11 – 15 years; 15-20 years and 20 + years.

So if you are a budding artist, graphic designer or creative in any way, then get out the pens, pencils, paints or your favourite design software and get designing!

The competition brief and design guidelines can be downloaded here along with information on how to submit your entry.

The deadline for entries is 14 March when they will be uploaded to Facebook for our readers to vote for their favourites.  The five most popular entries in each category will then be judged by local graphic design and print company Artmachine who will select four winners.

Please note that winning entries will be digitally enhanced prior to publication and must comply with the competition brief.

Any questions should be directed to Chloe Mackie at chloe@shetnews.co.uk
