Press Release:
Interpret Durban is turning 10 and everyone is invited to come and celebrate the past decade of creative abundance. For those who are unfamiliar with this event, Interpret Durban 10 (or #ID10 for short) is a creative competition that brings together photography, short film, illustration, visual arts, poetry, and the short story.
All the competition categories are open to the public and entry is free. The submission deadline is Friday, 13 September at 5 pm. Please visit the ID website at interpretdurban.co.za or like Interpret Durban 10 on FaceBook for updates on drop off points for the competition entries and for the detailed briefs of the respective categories. Fittingly, #ID10 turns inwards out to excavate Durban Identity as the thematic common thread. An identity shapes Durban as our space and links us as those who inhabit it. For #ID10, identity can connect and disconnect; can facilitate us finding common ground; can weave unity and understanding. Ultimately, identity can speak to assimilation, status, hierarchy, stereotypes, connectivity, change, the (meta)physical, and the individual or the group. Yet, identity is more than a static pigeon hole: It breathes as it flexes and embraces. ID10 yet again offers the kind of incentive and challenge artists always long for but seldom get. So, listen up: spread the word and let’s Interpret Durban and find that common thread. Over the years Interpret Durban has built a name in the industry not only for their amazing prizes but moreover the high calibre of entries that come pouring in each year contesting for one of the top spots. Prizes this year include cash winnings, gallery exhibitions and more Durban proud awesomeness.
To be part of this great creative challenge and stand a chance to win your share of over R50 000 in prizes, gain entry for free and exhibit with the best Durban has to offer at #ID10 all you need to do is go to www.interpretdurban.co.za and download the brief form for one of the categories mentioned above. The unique ID model showcases local—frequently undiscovered—artists, celebrates our one-of-a-kind city, and throws one heck of a party for the award ceremony. This fest will take place on Saturday, 21 September. Visit the #ID10 website or FaceBook page closer to the date for more information.
