The organisers to the Shepparton Festival have put out a Call to Create and an Expression of Interest as they start to plan the next festival, Unify, in 2021.

The Call to Create initiative invites artists to submit artwork for the 2021 Shepparton Festival’s featured promotional art. This will be used to brand the 2021 Festival, Unify.  The winner will claim $1000 in prize money, and also have the opportunity to promote their work through interviews with the local press, Shepparton Festival guide launch and opening ceremony.

To make the festival happen, they are also looking for Expressions of In terest from artists, community groups, organisations and industries who want to participate in the event.

Jamie Lea, Shepparton Festival creative director said, “This is the yearly call for anyone wishing to collaborate with the longest running regional arts festival in Victoria. Now in its 25th year, though we are experiencing bizarre and complex times right now, creativity continues to be as does the Shepparton Festival. Anyone and everyone are encouraged to submit their idea, request or proposal for 2021.”

Expressions of Interest close on August 15 and the Call to Create closes on 31 August.
