I know, I know I have somewhat been neglecting my blog. But I’ve been a busy little bee with a new job, a sometimes weekend retail job and a freelance gig on the side. Phew! It seems a lot on paper but I think some of my neglectfulness is due to a new found laziness that comes with running around trying to fit too many things in one day. Sometimes you just need to chill even though you know that you don’t have any time for it! So hopefully this determination to start blogging continues and as such brings me to the focus of this post – PNAN Youth Arts Festival.
I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside a friend who I met as a gangly 17 year old! Fortunately he’s no longer gangly but a project manager for the PNAN Youth Arts Festival. This is essentially a competition involving 3 categories – film, design and writing. The PNAN competition is to create awareness for youths involving a theme from alcohol and drugs perspective. Nick has done a hard job to encourage and bring aboard big name sponsors (EMI, Rolling Stones Magazine) to support and judge the winning entries. This is an awesome way to get your art exposed to big name industry people. Also you can score over $15,000 worth of cash and prizes. Not bad if you consider yourself a struggling artist, auteur, creator. Check out the website here:
