i have mentioned before that we are relaunching proost later this year. one of the things we are looking to put on our new download site is the work of young and unknown creatives. if you know anyone who fits the bill, pass this info on. the project is called unusual suspects. you can download a pdf form about it here (2.5mb). i will put it on the proost site shortly as well…
Are you under 25 years old?
Are you a creative person in need of an outlet?
Proost is looking for unknown creatives to produce work for its new download site.
The new site will produce monthly downloads of creative resources for youth groups,
churches and individuals.Proost produces 3 types of downloadable resource… AUDIO VISUAL, RECORDED MUSIC and BOOKS.
We are looking for young unknown poets, writers, illustrators, animators, film makers, music producers, fine artists, cartoonists etc. to present us with their ideas for media for our download site. If we like the idea, then you will be asked to make your piece of work. maybe a short film, a set of poems meditations or cartoons, a set of illustrations or music tracks…
The idea/s you present to us will be geared towards helping people in their spiritual journey. They will have an earthy reality to them not a churchy religiousnessIf your work is selected to go on the site, you will be paid on a royalty basis.
There will also be a really great prize for the best piece of work produced by an UNUSUAL SUSPECT…
watch this space for more details on that one!At Greenbelt 2007 Proost will be relaunching its website and we will use the event to promote and
showcase the UNUSUAL SUSPECTS (yet to be agreed with Gb but am sure it will happen!)Send an outline of your ideas and a brief biography to info@proost.co.uk
Visit our current website at proostPROOST, inspiring new resources that fuel faith.
How come the age restriction/limit? Are us above 30’s not creative anymore? LOL!!!!
the idea i to specifically encourage young talent. alt worship pioneers need encouraging to hand on the creative baton so to speak. that’s all! and we hope we might be able to link up some experience with young talent so to speak.
but we’re not just publishing unusual suspects material on proost. we’ll happily consider any creative material that sits with our vibe. so if you have ideas get in touch
i hope we are still creative at over 40!!!
as jonny said, this is an initiative specifically aimed at the young.
proost are very interested in what others have to offer… if it fits, we’d like to use it…
you just won’t be able to be an ‘unusual suspect’, that’s all!
A great fantastic opportunity that you guys are presenting here.
Cheers
What a fantastic opportunity. Good thinking. I was once told, when I was about 20 I think, that I would never make a living from being creative. Obstinately I was all the more determined to prove that person wrong but I was helped enormously by opportunities like this.
Is there a chance to mentor young creatives too? To offer to showcase what you’ve suggested but also to help in other ways – networking, marketing advice etc. Having brilliant creativity is only half the journey and I am sure help could be offered through the site for those other aspects.
If you want to develop the technical capabilities of any discipline there are ways and means but to express yourself spiritually is a harder road to follow.
sounds wicked, im up for it, you’ve heard my stuff but i have a couple of new tracks on the way.
its good to have an oppurtunity lke this though…
safe 🙂
Hi, Im a pretty creative person and love doing all sorts of art but im not sure what this proost unusual suspect thing is all about or how I can get involved. Any help greatfuly recieved. Thanks becky.
we produce music – mainly electronic but we’re open to anything with soul…
we produce audio visual/motion graphics pieces
we are going into producing books of liturgies.
our art forms aren’t necessarily limited to this but that’s the main areas. we want to encourage new talent. so are interested in unknown under 25s who would like to submit work. if selectyed we’ll publish and sell it on their behalf.
we set up originally to publish stuff connected with alternative worship. whilst we are not solely limited to that our edge/focus is still to produce art that is spiritual and fuels faith.
hope this helps
