Have you got any helpful advice for other 100Shirts entrants?

Let us know how you’ve been getting on and post a comment!

From the 100Shirts team...

The 100Shirts Website: We've met with the website designers this week and the official 100Shirts website is now under construction. The chosen 100Shirts will all be displayed on the website, so your submitted designs will potentially have an international audience!

Exhibition Venue: We have also been beavering away this week towards finalising the exhibition venue and will let you know as soon as all of the arrangements are confirmed.

Closing date Friday December 9th 2005

The exhibition will now take place in two Liverpool City Centre venues. Microzine, is a flagship retail outlet in Bold St, one of the busiest areas in the City Centre. Microzine will host the full exhibition. The 08 Place is the brand new Liverpool 08 space, in Whitechapel, in the heart of the city. The 08 space will host a scaled version of the full exhibition.
When? February 16th - March 2nd 2006.

Closing date for entries FRIDAY December 9th 2005.

The closing date for the 100Shirts T shirt design competition has been postponed until December 31st.
But don't fool yourself into thinking you can do your design over the Christmas break, do it now!
From the organisers...

As you read this you will probably move through one of two emotions
Happy: because you now have some more time
Sad/frustrated: because you have pushed yourself to comply with the brief.
For our part we are in both camps - and we are trying to respond and be as fair as we can to everyone who would want to enter.
There are two reasons for the change.
1. An advert we placed to promote the 100shirts to artists/designers throughout the UK did not hit the streets until today (the magazine had a problem with their printers - completely out of our hands) which means we have not been able to communicate the timetable to many would be entrants - we want to rectify this as best we can and believe this to be fair.
2. A growing number of applicants have requested an extension. We are slightly uncomfortable responding to these requests as so many of you have managed to meet the original deadline and we know it has been a stretch for you - but some applicants have perfectly good reasons for requesting the extension and we feel it only fair that we respond and offer the extra time.

Everything else to do with the quality of the entries, the website and exhibition is moving on at a pace and we will keep you all in touch with each new development as it happens.

Get back to us with you thoughts/concerns/issues and remember the Blog we have set up for everyone involved to voice their thoughts @ http://www.artinliverpool.com/100shirts/
The details have been updated http://www.artinliverpool.com/moreinfo/100 shirts.pdf

Don't forget to enter your designs for the p-ornithology T shirt competition before 31st December. Things are hotting up, the flyers are on the streets, the ads are in the mags and the entries are coming in thick and fast now.
If you have any problems emailing the 100shirts address (the100shirts@aol.com) you can always email me (info@artinliverpool.com) and I'll pass it on. Some company email systems block emails to domains such as aol, hotmail etc.!!
First prize is £1500.

From Bob at p-ornithology...

Hi All!
We are now heading towards the final week of the 100Shirts Competition, right bang in the middle of the busiest week of the year - Christmas!

Christmas Post
Please remember the Christmas post and all the delays that come with it - If you haven't already submitted your designs into us, be starting to think about getting them in (Artwork via email and application forms in the post with a printout of your designs attached).

Submit 3 designs
A few of you have come back to us asking where to take the brief: Birds in the City
It's free for you to roam anywhere you like! We've had designs from all angles from humorous to serious, political to downright silly! Whatever your ideas, if you are not sure what angle to design from, remember you can submit up to 3 designs so use them all!

The more designs you submit, the more chances you have of being featured in the 100Shirts Exhibition, the 100Shirts Book and the 100Shirts Website as well any publicity which accompanies these. We have already had features in Another Late Night, Aesthetic, Bana Arts, Love Liverpool and The Liverpool Echo with more to come as the competition progresses! And think of the prize money - Who doesn't need £1500 at this time of year?!!

Here at 100Shirts
We are working hard on the Webspace for the 100Shirts Site - It's looking great! It should be up by the 6th January 2006 and will show all the 100Shirts. There will be an opportunity for you to vote for the designs you like best so you will have to let all your friends and family know where to find your designs!

The 100Shirts Book
We are also nearly there with the sponsorship for the 100Shirts Book which will feature every design!! We want it to be ready for the 100Shirts Exhibition in February 06. The design for the book has been completed already and looks extremely smart - It should show off all of your artwork fabulously. So! Get those entries in and you could be a 'published' artist too!!

Well - That's all from us for now.

By the way, how's everyone's festive shopping going? It looks as though Robbie and Barry will both be out doing that blokey 'last-minute-peg-round-the-shops-panicking' thing that all blokes do this time of year... so I might actually get a bit of peace and quiet in the office!! - Which is nice! I've obviously done all mine so I will be staying incredibly calm this week as I've got nothing to do but enjoy that incredibly smug feeling and looking out for your entries in the post!!

Have a good week!

Bob <}:O)

Miss Bob Blackwell

Here is a Frequently Asked Question...

" I know the brief says we can only use two colours but do shades of the same colour count?"

And here is the answer from Bob...

"In screen printing, separate screens have to be made for each individual colour or shade of colour and so even shades of the same colour will count separately.

Thus, if you wanted to use maroon, red, pink, and baby pink - this would count as four colours and not just all as one colour in different shades.

You can only use two colours for your design.

I hope that answers your question clearly."

More info from Bob....

Hi Chaps and Chapesses!

I know the deadline is upon us (Noon on Sat. 31st) so follow the brief and get your artwork over to me via email before the deadline and post your application forms as soon as you can.

A couple of tips to make it easier/ quicker for you to complete your entries...

1. Stick to two colours only. Shades of the same colour will count as separate colours here as we will be using screen-printing techniques which means a separate screen will have to be made for each colour even if it's the same shade.

2. Keep the artwork simple. By restricting your work to two colours, you will find it's more powerful to create designs more simply than you would for any other competition.

3. We have had humorous, political, puns, birds, serious entries, silly entries so anything that takes your fancy! You have up to three entries, so keep em simple and use all your entries - Even if it's only to give an alternative version of the same design - But obviously, if you enter all three (different) you will have more chance of being chosen for the exhibition in feb! A couple of artists were unsure which version to enter and have entered a couple of the same version - Each quite powerful in their own right - It's worth a thought!

4. Read the brief - The template is 26cm x 26cm across the front of the chest. You don't have to use all the space, that's just the space given for your design. Make sure your art is actually to scale on your entries emailed over as if you are chosen, these computer files will be sent directly to the printers.

5. Email your finished designs over to me with your full name and title of your design. It makes it easier for me to go through them all and make sure I've filed them correctly!
Christmas post can be a pain so do make sure you email your application forms asap... One per entry. We will need them for judging. Oh, and make sure you attach a printout of your design to the back of your form.

6. Once you have emailed your artwork over, I will check it over for you and come back to you if there are any little changes to be made. (ie: if too many colours have been used by mistake or I'm missing the title of your design..) I will then send you a quick email to confirm I have your entry registered. If you haven't received this confirmation email, please do nudge me to check I have your designs in; It's a busy period and I'm only human so I do forget sometimes... It could just be my mistake or the design might not have come through so do nudge me to check I have your work.

7. Any questions - Please do email me straight away! We only three days to go to collaborate all your entries so use up those Christmas calories and get beavering away! Did you know, watching the TV uses 78 calories per hour? Imagine how many calories you'd be using to create three fab designs for the 100Shirts Competition?! Think of the weightloss and the prize money potential!!!

Hope that helps! If you have already submitted a design and still have another couple of entries open for grabs, use em chaps!!! It could turn out to be the best thing you did over Christmas!!

I've attached a copy of the 100Shirts Application Form here (word doc) 'just in case' any of you are missing anything. If you want the brief again, feel free to contact me or download it from www.artinliverpool.com/100shirts as a .pdf

As I say, anything else I can help you with, please do drop me a line.
All the best for the New Year!

Bob :-)

from Bob....

And all across the country can be heard the sounds of tap-tapping on pooters and cogs grinding with hasty artistic creativity!

Our postman has now been given a 4x4 from Royal Mail, the poor guy's deliveries are so heavy!
The standard of work is phenomenal - If you haven't already got your designs into us, email them over in either .ai or .eps ASAP!!

Yep, we will need application forms too (one per design please) and these must be received to qualify for submission.

We will send you an email confirming receipt of your emailed artwork and also a second email confirming receipt of your application form (one per design please).

Please so bare with me! There's only me tapping away here and trying to get through all the inbox, computer files, outward emails and the boot of our postie's 4x4! I will come back to you very quickly if there are any small changes which need to be made with your artwork and I will come back to you straight away should there be anything missing from your application forms (one per design please!).

If you know your application forms (did I mention we need one per design?!) should be with me by now and you've not heard from me, take it as good news and all is well! There's obviously nowt missing so I will come round to confirming these ones as soon as I can crawl out from under all these papers!!

Any urgent questions or queries which need to be answered in order for you to get your artwork mailed over on time, then type "URGENT!" in the subject header... And I will keep an eye out for those ones in particular. Any grovelling or flattery in the subject header is also most welcome.

ALL THE BEST FOR NEW YEAR CHAPS AND CHAPPESSES!

Bob :-)

A few foreign hellos!!

We've had entries from all over the country. Just thought I'd say a big hello to a few of our un-local entrants... Anna & Stu in Dorset (love the accent!), David in Nottingham, Jo in Old Trafford (being from Liverpool, I hate the dreaded M word!), big hello to Suzanna in Wigan (I love the place! chip-barm pea wet!), Jacquii and Stan in Prestwich (see Old Trafford entry!), Stuart in Colliers Wood.. Heya to Vicki in Edinburgh and last but by no means least, Pete in Fleetwood! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

From the organisers....

Hey All!

Well, the competition is now closed and so we are beavering away organising the next stage - the judging!

A few of you have been asking about the next stages - When will the judging take place, who are the judges, when do we find out if we are chosen for the 100Shirts Exhibition....?!

Details of the judges, judging process and dates will all be posted onto our blog (an online newsletter/messageboard) at http://www.artinliverpool.com/100shirts so please do keep a regular eye out (every couple of days or so) for the latest updates. Hopefully the judging will take place before the 14th January 2006 so there really isn't much time to go!

It would be lovely to get a little feedback from you all too - Please do take a moment to post your comments or queries or shared experiences of the competition so far onto our blog. How did you find out about the 100Shirts? How easy/difficult did you find the brief? Did you find your queries and questions were responded to helpfully when you emailed into us? Maybe you would like to try and contact some of the other entrants to have a chat and see how they found the competition so far?

If you've never posted a message on a website before, it's as easy as writing a short email! Simply click the link above. You will see our messages and updates on the page - on the bottom of every message is the word 'comment' - Simply click here to send us your thoughts!!

I look forward to seeing some messages and feedback on the blog!

Good luck to you all for the judging and, fingers crossed, we will meet you during the exhibition!

All the best,
Robbie, Bob and Barry

The Judges are meeting tomorrow.
Exciting isn't it?
More news soon.
Good to see a few comments on the recent postings, keep 'em coming. There may be more of these competitions in future so the more feedback the better

From Robbie...

The 100Shirts Judging Panel will be meeting today and the 100Shirts will be chosen! All of these 100Shirts will be viewable on the official website which will be launched next week ..... Keep checking this blog for more news coming soon!

Hello all!

Well, the judging panel - consisting of representatives from the Arts Council Northwest, Art in Liverpool, Microzine, The Liverpool and Manchester Design Initiative, The Culture Company and p-ornithology - met yesterday afternoon and the 100Shirts were chosen from all of the entries submitted!

The quality of artwork was phenomenal and so it was quite a difficult task to narrow down all of the entries to our group favourite 100Shirt Designs but, after much debate, we managed to pick 100 designs!

These top 100Shirts designs will all be featured in the 100Shirts Exhibition to take place in Microzine in February - Watch this space for more details!

Are you one of the lucky artists to have your artwork chosen to feature in the 100Shirts Exhibition? Well, the chosen 100 are being transported and uploaded to the official 100Shirts Website as I write and hopefully, we will be coming back to you with the live link to the website very soon.

To find out if you are one of the chosen 100, keep your eyes on this blog as we will only be updating you all via this message board from now on.

Congratulations in advance to all of the artists who have had their artwork chosen for the 100Shirts exhibition, book and website! For everyone else, there's always next year.

All the best,
Bob :-)

Thanks for all the comments. I'm sure Bob appreciates it but she's just too busy to respond. The website is almost ready, its not me that's doing it by the way. Then you'll just have to look and see if your design is in there, that's all the news I have for now.

Hi Everyone
The 100shirts site is live
Hope the wait has not been too long or painful - you will see we have been working hard to make the sure the webExhibition is as good as we can get it.
The 100shirts on the site are the 100shirts the judges have chosen. I understand that some entrants will be disappointed but every design has been considered and the judging was extremely difficult.
About the site:

Its built using Flash because we believed this is the best way we could reflect the quality of the designs and of what we are trying to achieve with the whole project. Using Flash here are a few tips
- If you don't have the software to view sites built in Flash, you can download it for free.
- It will operate smoothly if you have broadband - but if you are on a dial up connection, the operation will be slow (and fa tad frustrating) - and the music will cut in and out - so a broadband connection really is essential.
- Remember the voting is for fun but it will be interesting to see who crosses the line as the "peoples" vote - so get your family and friends involved.

There is loads of information about the city centre exhibition venues and our partners - so have a good look around and visit all the partner sites by clicking on the logos at the bottom of the homepage.
We are really proud of it and how it represents the quality and high standard of the chosen 100designs. So go and enjoy it and don't forget to let us know what you think.

Thanks for being part of it all so far - there is loads more exciting stuff to come. Keep checking back for news on the main exhibitions and the awards night.
The link is at www.p-ornithology.com - enjoy it.
Cheers
Robbie

I called into Microzine today to check out how the p-ornithology guys were getting on with setting up the exhibition.
As you can see Robbie and Bob were hard at work trying to get all 100 shirts neatly stuck to the walls on the 1st floor.
I'm going back tomorrow to see the finished product.
Remember they're on show until the Awards Evening on March 2nd. Have you booked your place yet?

Looks really good. Robbie and Bob were there till late last night and they must have used some awful big step-ladders! Think the shirts are stuck to the wall with some magic Velcro stuff.
There's a few going up in the 08 place today.
Do call in and have a look, I'm surprised how different the designs look when printed on a real T shirt.

Microzine is at 65-67 Bold Street, Liverpool, L1 4EZ

From Bob at p-ornithology.....

Hi All!

The 100Shirts Exhibition is up and running!
As of yesterday, the 100Shirts Exhibition went live! You are now able to go and visit the exhibition in MICROZINE, on Bold Street in Liverpool City Centre. There has already been considerable interest from other designers and artists who have seen all of your designs up so we think the exhibition will continue to draw the crowds over the next two weeks!

The 08 PLace - Liverpool Capital of Culture
A couple of weeks ago, we contacted four artists who's designs had been chosen to go into production by the 08 Place - the official Capital of Culture Shop in Liverpool City Centre. The chosen designs have been produced on to limited edition tees to be sold during the exhibition as an added feature, alongside the 100Shirts Exhibition at MICROZINE.

The designs were chosen to feature in the 08 Place as they felt the artwork fitted well with their own branding and the capital of culture theme.
The 4 lucky artists who had their designs chosen for the 08 Clothing range are:

Lynsey Hackett - Liverbirds - Produced into Limited edition Women's tees
Jeremy Southgate - Who's your daddy? - Limited edition Men's tees
Joe Bramall - Tower Birds - Limited edition Men's tees
Jenny Knight - Birds by Knight! - Produced into limited edition children's tees

Their tees have now all been printed and labelled and will be on sale at the 08Place on Monday morning. Congratulations to all of you!

Press Releases
There will be various press releases over the coming two/ three weeks. The first one will be through the Culture Company and again, several artists have been contacted already regarding these. We are just waiting for the artist's to grant us permission and will let you all know how the interviews go!

We expect there to be several more over the next couple of weeks and hope to involve different 100Shirts artists where we can. If you are interested in talking to the press and taking part in a short interview, email me and let me know and I can put you forward for the next ones when they arise! (How exciting!?!)

Well, that's all for now! If any of you take any good digipics when you visit the exhibition in MICROZINE, please do send me a couple and I will make sure they are shared around & posted on to the blog!

We will be coming to you all with options for purchasing your shirts too - Hopefully by tomorrow - So stay peeled if you are wanting to buy your shirts.

That's all for now folks! Have a great weekend!

Bob :-)

I should have done this a while ago.
I have created a 100 Shirts set on flickr.com and put a few pictures there, more to follow.
If anyone would like to add more photos just email them to me and I will add them with your name.
No huge files please - low resolution.

BIRDS ON T-SHIRTS

· Unique opportunity for artists
· Exhibition - 100 T-Shirts printed with their designs on show

A UNIQUE T-shirt competition is unveiling 100 designs in an exhibition this week.

Artists from all over the country have been invited to submit their artworks on the subject of birds in the city for organisers, p-ornithology, to sift through with an expert panel of judges. The top 100 designs have been put onto T-shirts and will be exhibited in Microzine in Bold Street and in the 08 place, where four designs will be on sale. The top three designs will net their creators cash prizes totalling thousands of pounds.

Liverpool City Council leader, Councillor Warren Bradley, said: "Most people wear T-shirts on a regular basis so to use this popular forum to display artwork makes a truly mobile art gallery!"

P-ornithology create artistic and thought-provoking clothing. The 100 shirts project is supported by the Liverpool Culture Company, Merseyside Acme, the Liverpool and Manchester Design Initiative, Microzine, The Arts Council, Merseyside Special Investment Fund, and Acme Art.

Director Robbie Davison from p-ornithology said: "We wanted to inspire, support and facilitate the talents of visual artists from all over the UK and provide every artist who enters, the opportunity to win awards and exhibit their work. We feel that this competition has opened up the raw potential of T-shirts to be recognised as a perfect template for visual art."

There is also an online exhibition at www.p-ornithology.com. There will be an awards night at Microzine, starting at 7pm.

Hi All,

We have been attempting to make the project as complete as we possibly could for everybody who made it into the 100Shirts Exhibition. During the competition/ exhibition process, we have been working hard to produce materials that reflect and promote the quality of all the designs. It was important to create a legacy.

We have always felt that the best way to do this would be to produce a book containing your designs. We are now happy and relieved to tell you that the book has been produced.

Our intention was to have the full cost of the book covered by sponsorship, however, due to the short lead time we were unable to secure the full sponsorship. Feeling it was a vital tool and a fitting tribute to the project, we decided to produce the book anyway. We therefore will need to make a nominal charge for the book to cover the shortfall in sponsorship. This charge is £4.00. If you would like to buy a few books, we will be able to supply them in bundles of 3 for £10.00.

Similarly, with the posters, there was no project budget allowing for production of the posters. As a gesture, every artist attending the Awards Night will be given a free poster at the Awards Night; Outside of this, we will need to charge a nominal fee for these posters (A2 size). This charge is £3.00 (in a secure postal tube). If you would like to purchase several posters, we can supply them in bundles of 4 for £10.

Both the 100Shirts Book and Poster are of high quality and we're proud with the finished products - We hope you like them too.

To accomodate an easy transaction, we have set up an ebay store. You can access the store on the link below and use either paypal/ credit cards or cheques to purchase the above items.

LINK ->http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=the100shirts


One final response to requests to purchase shirts from the 100Shirts Exhibition -
A number of artists (as well as exhibition visitors actually!) have asked if they can buy their tshirt/ others from the 100Shirts Exhibition.
As you all know, the 100Shirts Project is funded and so we did not have the budget to produce and sell 100 different tshirts.

However, with the growing number of requests to purchase shirts from the exhibition, we are looking to offer a solution. It's possible for us to produce shirts at a relatively low cost but the process of low cost and quality is all about numbers - Therefore, the minimum print run we will be able to offer is 10 (all of same size/ design). This may or may not be of interest to those of you who have expressed an interest in getting hold of a number of shirts with your design on, but due to the costs associated with producing 1 high-quality screen printed tshirt, it is not viable to produce any of the designs in quantities less than 10.

If this approach is of any interest to you, the minimum order of 10 shirts (all of same design and size) and £95.00 + P&P (We always suggest Recorded Delivery). Bob will be making purchase of these available through the ebay store by tomorrow (MON) evening for those who are interested.

To be clear, we are only producing shirts for artists who want their design produced for their families and friends. We are not selling shirts to the wider public.

There will be a 21 day turn-around on shirt orders due to the potential complexity of producing runs of ten for many of the 100Shirts.

Again, for more information on sizing etc, please refer to link to our ebay store.

We will be able to answer questions but please be aware, this is the 100Shirts Awards Week! And the three of us are going crazy at the moment!

One last thing, are you coming to the Awards Night on Thursday 2nd March?! Have you got your name/s on the Guest List?! If not, please do email them over to us asap.

See you soon!

Robbie, Bob and Barry.

I had to be at Microzine for 18.30 last night. The awards evening started at 19.00 but I was on the judging panel and we still had to decide on the final 3 winners of the 100 T Shirts design competition.
It was very difficult of course but we managed to avoid fisticuffs and it was a really good evening with drinks provided by Sabai and an after party at the Tea Factory.
I will leave it to the p-ornithology guys to officially announce the winners. Here's a pic of Robbie making his speech and thanking all the judges, partners, artists etc.
I really enjoyed being part of this project which involved hundreds of artists from all over the UK and I'm looking forward to the next one.
More pictures on flickr soon.

From Bob at p-ornithology...
Hi All!

It's been a week now since the Awards Party on 2nd March - As some of you may already know, I've been ill for a long while now and unfortunately all of the activity of last week took it's toll so haven't been able to give you the lowdown until now - my apologies. I hope this will update you all...

It was wonderful to see so many of you on the night - those of you who couldn't make it, you missed a good night! It was great to finally be able to put a few faces to names!! A big special mention to the most handsome guest of the night, Archie Lockwood, Vicki's wonderful baby boy who simply beamed all night as if he was in a room full of toys!! (see pic on flickr)

The judging panel:
Robbie Davison - p-ornithology/ the100shirts
Jackie & Chris - Microzine
Sarah Vasey - Culture Company
Ian Jackson - ArtinLiverpool.com
Elaine Caldwell - Liverpool & Manchester Design Initiative
Andrew Small - The wonderfully talented, acclaimed artist - designed Super Lamb Banana amongst other inspiring artworks.

The winners were announced as:-
1st Prize (£1500) David Morley, Arboretum - Well done David! :-)2nd Prize - was going to be £500
3rd Prize - was going to be £300

Well, the judging panel had quite a hard job with battling out the 2nd and 3rd place winners so in the end, the decision was taken to award 2 joint 2nd places and split the prize money evenly between the two!

so, JOINT 2nd place were:
Peter Fletcher (The Early Bird catched the 6 o'clock worm) £400
Doug Kerr, Pigeon Shot 1 £400

Congratulations to all three of you - Enjoy spending the well-deserved cash!! I've had a lovely email from Charlotte, David's girlfriend... Charlotte is especially proud of her man winning 1st Prize - You better intercept his cheque in the post Charlotte and make him spend some of it on you!!!

Unfortunately, out of the three winners, only Peter was able to be there on the night. We managed to capture the magic moment when Peter was presented his winning cheque by Sarah Vasey from the Culture Company (see Pic on flickr)

The Awards Photo - I hope I managed to capture you all at your best angle!! It was lovely to meet you all... Samantha J Mills (hello!), Angie & Gord, Lynsey & Catrin... so many to mention! A big hello to our new friends North of the Border, John & Hazel Paterson - It would have been lovely to have more time for a chat with you all!

Since the Awards, we have had some lovely messages from artists and guests alike - thank you all for coming and taking part. I'm sure all those who came on the night would agree, The 100Shirts certainly was a BIG SUCCESS! For the 100 chosen designs, you are now all officially published and exhibited artists! If you were unable to attend the awards night and would like a copy of The100Shirts Book/ Posters, there is still a last chance for you purchase them through the ebay shop - http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=the100shirts

What's next??!!!
We hope you have enjoyed the project as much as we have. It's been a long journey but we got there and your collective hard work really did make a big success of the project - A big thank you to everyone of you who took part. Over here, we had a fabulous time piecing all of this together and will be getting in touch with you all again in the Summer with details of the NEXT BIG PROJECT!

... In the meantime, we will be looking at organising an Artists' Seminar for those of you who'd be interested in getting involved - perhaps looking at pooling together all this talent and channelling it towards some exciting new creative ventures... Watch this space!!

Last but by no means least...
A BIG thank you to Ian Jackson from ArtinLiverpool.com for all his hard work. Ian created this fabulous space for us to keep you all informed throughout The 100Shirts Project and he formulated the message boards for you all to keep in touch with each other. Thank you to all those who took the time to post messages on the boards too.

Your Feedback
If you haven't completed a Feedback Questionnaire and would like to, please email over to me your completed forms (word doc, downloadable here) as soon as you can. All the information provided to us will be put towards our evaluations for the funders - your comments/ thoughts on the project really do help.

Again, well done to all of you who took part in the project and all those who featured in the 100Shirts Exhibition. We hope you enjoyed the project as much as we did!

Keep in touch and hopefully, we will see you all again in the not-too-distant future.

Bob :-)
