NSLF + doughnuts August 26, 2009

Wow, it has been awhile since I’ve even checked in or posted anything.

Funny thing is, the very place I get most of my information from is where I’m based for Research placement.

I’m currently swamped with uni work, placement, VUSU. But hopefully things will return to normality in November and I’ll have some more awesome things to put here!

This is a short blog to remind you of  NSLF. Remember the student conference I was telling you about in my earlier blogs?

I get to send two young VU students to it this year! Its been great having this task delagated to me.  The comp has closed and two have been chosen. However,  the entries I’ve received are remarkable and hope I get permission to publish some of their entries up here. Some really inspiring stories! I’ve gained permission for a couple already and hope you get to enjoy their stories and be inspired as well.

Meanwhile, I need doughnuts… or some sugar hit..

DESIGN A MURAL FOR SYN FM March 5, 2009

Update from YACVic

DESIGN A MURAL FOR SYN FM
SYN is seeking young artists to submit their ideas to make our radio studios come to life!

Youth community media organisation SYN Media just turned 6 years old. We’re producing youth radio 24/7 as well as two TV programs and heaps of online content and, though we might not like to admit it, our physical spaces are looking a little rough around the edges. It’s time for a facelift!

We’re opening the hefty task of livening up the SYN studios to our audience and members by asking them to design a mural for our radio studio wall. Artists between the ages of 12 and 25 are encouraged to submit designs for the wall of SYN’s radio studios in Melbourne.

The competition is open from 9am February 15th to 6pm March 15th and designs will be shortlisted and then voted on by the people that count – SYN broadcasters.

All paints and supplies will be provided for the execution of the mural and the chosen designer will receive a $150 Obese Records gift voucher to spend on new paints or new tunes.

For competition regulations and the info about the dimensions of the studio wall, artists should email info@syn.org.au
