Next summer, Ipswich will host 40 individually designed Owl Sculptures – which means we will soon be on the lookout for talented and creative artists to come up with the alluring designs.
The bar has been set high; Pigs Gone Wild and Elmers Big Parade where an array of artists produced some truly imaginative and beautiful creations, and we can’t wait to see what will be suggested for our Big Hoot next year.
We are looking for local and national artists and you don’t have to be a well-known artist to submit a design. Those of you who are undiscovered are encouraged to take part too, you never know, this could be the start of something Big!
All submissions received will be shortlisted by our expert selection panel, ahead of a special matchmaker event in January, the first opportunity for sponsors and designs to meet.
Click the button below to download the full Artist Submission pack that contains everything you need to submit a design proposal. There are more downloads at the bottom of the page where you can download the elements separately, or submit electronically.
If you are one of the artists selected, you will be commissioned to customise one of the 40 Big Hoot statues; creating a unique piece of art to be displayed next summer, at the end of the trail the statues will be auctioned to raise much needed funds for St Elizabeth Hospice.
