Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
TOPSHOP, the women's fashion brand with more than 25 stores in the Middle East, is inviting all student GulfWeekly readers to participate in a mural competition entitled 'Unleash Your Creativity'.
The winning mural design will be chosen by the Topshop UK team to be recreated and displayed on the walls of its flagship stores across the region. In addition, the winner will receive a KD 500 voucher as well as the opportunity to fly to selected stores in the Gulf and beyond to reproduce his or her design on store walls.
The competition is open to all young students wishing to free their imaginations. The concept is simple: be inspired by the Topshop Spring/Summer 2009 Collection in stores now and create an original artwork for stores across the Middle East.
Competition rules:
Submit up to three design entries per participant.
Send entries by e-mail to topshop@alshaya.com
Deadline for entries is April 31, 2009.
Include clear contact information with your entry.
You must have a valid passport and the ability to travel to all Middle Eastern countries.
In May, the winner will be notified by SMS to receive a prize voucher and the opportunity to reproduce the winning design on the store wall in Bahrain along with their autograph and then fly to sister stores in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Jordan to do the same.
Design requirements:
The design should be scalable to a width of 2m and a height of 3m.
The design is to be inspired by the Topshop Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.
Paint, vinyl and fabric may be used; however, design materials must not damage store walls.
Illustrations are welcomed.
"Topshop wants to involve and interact with students to show that we care about exploring your imagination, wherever you are. This is an opportunity to expand your boundaries of creativity and be inspired by our latest looks. We want to hear your voice through an important mean of expression called Art," says Rana Hammoud, brand marketing manager, Middle East.
Topshop is also offering a 10 per cent discount on all products upon presentation of a student ID card.
