AUA/PL003	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 supported the launch Awards in 2009. 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.

AUA/PL004	RAW FASHION MAGAZINE Sponsors are sought for a new magazine - RAW Fashion Magazine (www.rawfashionmagazine.com) - with the opportunity for the sponsor to promote their product, to display their logo at all events, including photo shoots and parties, and to have their brand as the backbone of RAW Fashion Magazine. "The concept of RAW Fashion Magazine is to get back to the gritty, grainy, raw talent of fashion and photography. No photo will be photoshopped - instead the magazine will showcase RAW talent, RAW creativity and RAW fashion, specializing in the Australian fashion industry as well as around the world. Sponsorships and partnerships with large corporate labels help to keep this vision alive and a must for the fashion industry. With so many magazines altering photos, the talent of photography has been lost and the fashion industry suffers economically. Average consumers and readers are more likely to buy products, labels and invest in something real - fantasy and theatrical yes, but true and real and of high quality. Please let me know if you would like to be a part of this vision and advertise your logo on my site. Nominal amounts can be discussed and sponsorship opportunities are welcome". Contact: Kelly N. Saunders, Creative Director/Owner. Address: 26 Jonas Road, Cannonvale, Queensland 4802. E-mail: iamshort1@hotmail.com link to website	Ongoing

AUA/0005	THE LIBERTY THEATRES The Liberty Theatres (indoor and open air) were built in 1954 but closed in 2000. They are now in desperate need of complete refurbishment so that they can be re-opened to the public. Once opened they can be used for film, live theatre and art exhibitions etc. The indoor theatre was made famous in the early 1960s by a local aboriginal lady called Isabel Flick, who made a stand against segregation and went on to become a world renowned activist for indigenous rights. "Once the open air theatre is re-opened, it will be only the second one in operation in Australia. Before the theatres closed, it was not uncommon to attract three hundred or more visitors per night, as it not only served our local town, but towns up to 120kms away, being the only one of its type in the area. Any financial help would be greatly appreciated". Contact: Mark Addy. Address: 31 Wilson Street, Collarenebri, New South Wales 2833. E-mail: markandisabel@bigpond.com link to website	Ongoing
