Deadline:
November 9, 2017.
Digifest 4, the Annual Arts and Design
Digital Festival, which takes place at the Durban University of Technology, is
hosting a Digital Battle on November 11 and is making a call for participants.
DigiFest is a public event that takes place
from November 6 to 11 and features a packed programme of creative activations
across a variety of genres. The Digital
Battle, a digital design tournament, is a major feature at this year’s event,
which sees creatives come together in a live head-to-head design tournament
where participants can flex their skills in front of an audience.
The Battle takes place at the DUT Gallery,
on the Steve Biko Campus (Steve Biko Road) on November 11 from 17h00 to 21h00,
and competitors will engage in a battle of their choice including 2D design,
animation, character design and video editing, and there are some awesome
prizes up for grabs.
“This is really about the coming together
of great creative minds to have a whole lot of fun, while under some open
scrutiny and a peer pressure,” quips Festival Manager, Steve Jones. “With the
theme of DigiFest this year being “glitch”, a celebration of malfunctions,
technical mishaps and imperfections in systems, the end results of this Digital
Battle could be quite interesting, as designers have an open door to go for
it.”
Entries are open to anyone interested,
especially digital designers, creative designers, art directors, 2D and 3D
designers, animators and graphic designers. Entries close on November 9. Go to
www.designbattles.co.za/durban.html to sign up.
All are welcome and entrance is free to the
Digifest, with exception of November 11 events at Steve Biko where tickets will
be free for students and R40 for the public at the door.
The full programme can be found on the
website digifest.dut.ac.za
