Calling all graphic designers, artists, music fans and Iceland enthusiasts! Iceland Naturally has just announced the Redesign Reykjavik Calling Contest and is seeking original poster designs for the Reykjavik Calling concert, the headlining event of A Taste of Iceland. Bringing a new edge to the unique concert series, Iceland Naturally is offering a grand prize of $1,000 for an original poster design to become the new look for upcoming Reykjavik Calling concerts!
A nod to the rock and roll anthem “London Calling” by The Clash, Reykjavik Calling is a concert that features unique collaborations between Icelandic and North American musicians and is held during the A Taste of Iceland weekend of cultural events throughout the year. Icelandic musicians travel to the host North American city, meet their local musician partners and perform collaborative, never-before heard sets for the Reykjavik Calling concert. As the main event of A Taste of Iceland, Reykjavik Calling concerts have taken place in Boston, Denver, Seattle and Washington D.C., and will be expanding to more in 2013.
