MUSIC DESIGN AWARDS
The Music Design Awards recognise designers, worldwide, for the outstanding work they do for the music industry, at every level. To those in the know, designing for the music industry takes hard, hard work and real innovation - strokes of brilliance underscored with inspiration - leading to spectacular end results. Design for the music industry is unrelentingly challenging and occupies the minds of the world's most inspired, leading-edge designers and design houses. The Music Design Awards represent an opportunity for designers around the world to enter their projects for clients. The awards are truly global in context and open to designers from all regions. There are sixty-two awards to win - eleven project categories across five music genre groupings and seven continental region categories. Leading companies seeking to encourage and reward great design for the music industry support the Music Design Awards, such as Eye magazine and Art Vinyl, who have supported the Awards previously. The organisers of the Music Design Awards are keen to foster longer term relationships with partners/supporters and build enduring two-way relationships, ensuring supporters benefit from positive exposure and the Awards benefit from the credible support of companies for whom the link between design and music is important. Supporting organisations will benefit from electronic media exposure (in the form of website and editorial content), email activity, e-bulletins and e-ads on search engines. They will also gain exposure in more traditional media such as direct mail, editorial in trade titles, carefully selected display advertising and support from media partners. Contact: Marie Thomas, Operations Director. Address: Music Design Awards (jla), 80 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7NW. Tel.: +44 (0) 20 8675 8405. E-mail: marie.thomas@musicdesignawards.com.

KALA PHOOL
Kala Phool is an arts development agency that strives to make diverse artforms accessible, fun and low cost. Currently not core funded, Kala Phool needs financial support from like-minded organisations that want to work with it. Projects Kala Phool develops and delivers include the Brighton Hip Hop Festival, which boasts a position as the UK's largest celebration of Hip Hop culture. Kala Phool currently works globally with existing and emerging partners, as well as those from across the UK, pushing the boundaries in making all the artforms under the Hip Hop 'banner' visible. The festival was ten years old in 2013 and Kala Phool are keen to have sponsors come and support their vision - they are open to more than one supporter. • Mother India 21st Century Remix - this project is currently under development and involves the rescoring of the iconic and Oscar award winning Indian epic, Mother India. It will be produced using the talent of the world's top Turntablist, bringing the film to a fresh new audience with India and Pakistan's independence as its inspiration. • Frieze Box - imagine, a box covered in canvas in the middle of your town, school or on a roundabout, with artists working on it in rotation. This is the concept and currently Frieze Box is being developed to work with younger people, in schools and with national festivals. It's a way of taking the art to the people and allowing them to have a go. Quality is foremost in Kala Phool's visioning and the agency works with the best of the best, the most respected and credible artists ... but also in their own right they value Kala Phool's work. Kala Phool works to support under-developed artform sectors that may not necessarily have a voice. It advocates on strategic, national and international levels with a variety of agencies. "We want to hear from you". Contact: Ms Indy Hunjan. Address: PO Box 106, Brighton, East Sussex BN50 9BU. Tel.: +44 (0) 7977 449052. E-mail: indy@kalaphool.com

Open is never preachy or judgemental: it's fun, glossy and looks at the emerging zeitgeist with humour and irreverence. It looks at the classics with fresh eyes and champions emerging talent. Features are written by journalists and experts in their field ... often by arts practitioners themselves. Editor-in-Chief Loma-Ann Bonner is a former staff journalist on various nationals and has recently been elected as a Fellow of the RSA for her work on Culture Compass.

GRATITUDE (from WILD IN ART)
Gratitude (www.thisisgratitude.co.uk) is a spectacular outdoor public art installation which commemorates this extraordinary moment in time. The installation will bring together 49 uniquely designed human form sculptures in a display which invites contemplation and takes visitors on a creative journey of discovery. The image of key workers standing together, but apart, is one of the abiding images of our times - each worker socially distancing and standing apart, while at the same time showing a unique coming together. Each sculpture will be created by national and regional artists to reflect the stories and contributions of NHS staff and all key workers and will be sponsored by a different business. Free to visit, Gratitude will be hosted in high profile, accessible locations in Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and London. The sculptures will be auctioned in October 2021 to raise funds for NHS Charities Together (Registered Charity Number 1186569). "Businesses and other local organisations are invited to sponsor a sculpture for £9,750 plus VAT, which provides a great opportunity for your company to recognise the tremendous efforts of your own employees during the pandemic, and to support artists and exhibition designers, who are giving us all some much-needed colour and vibrancy to our cities in this challenging period. We also appreciate that, as a business, you will want to see a return on this investment and use your sponsorship to reach all your stakeholders. There are various ways that you can do this, including employee and stakeholder engagement and driving customers to your business. Gratitude sponsorship is a great opportunity to promote your brand, what you do and key messages through our print and digital assets. These include the sculpture plaque, Gratitude website and the app. Our team will talk you through various ways of getting your message out there. So don't delay and join our other sponsors including Ocado, Wesleyan, HSBC, Browne Jacobson, Securitas, Thortful, Premier Inn, Selfridges and others ... we are now looking for our last twelve sponsors and need to know by June 2021". "Gratitude will be an important landmark event for NHS Charities Together in 2021. We hope businesses step forward to support this event, which will raise vital funds for NHS Charities Together and will help us to produce a very special and significant event for the UK", Ellie Orton, Chief Executive, NHS Charities Together.
