Submissions should be made using the cut-up technique i.e. taking scissors to an original text then rearranging the fragments to create a new one. This snappy creative mode is inspired by a double whammy of Williams (Faulkner and Burroughs) and has been used by the likes of David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Thom Yorke. In the spirit of 'killing your darlings' your cut-up creations can be inspired by whatever your own creative obsessions are: design, fashion, illustration, photography, art, literature, music.For more information: Check out #KYDcutUp or visit the official Facebook page and to join the cut up conversation. --> Event link <--
Upload an image of your cut-up artwork to the Kill Your Darlings UK Facebook page no later than Sunday 17 November. Facebook submissions should be .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif or.tiff image files and should be 15mb or less in size and must be available for projection in digital image format either in 1024 x 768 landscape or 768 x 1024 portrait pixel resolution. The exhibition will take the form of a series of projections that will appear across London locations between November 21-23.
For the 300th issue of ShortList we have to go big. We have to go bad. We have to blow you away. Er, so we will…
The world’s top crime authors have penned us tight 300-word stories for the issue. And…well, we don’t want to reveal too much else. But suffice to say, there will be special guests and headline-grabbing coups. Not to mention the odd body to be disposed of. Bring a shovel.
