TO GET INVOLVED email sticky (find it on above link) by
MONDAY 24 MAY 5pm to say you want to do it
...and yes!, Singaporeans also can!
Target: 168 is synchronized zinemaking in extreme time constraints, run by Sticky Institute Zine Shop in Melbourne Australia.
following info and 'how to get involved info from sticky site (see above link):
" In this frenzied round, you have a target of 168 hours to produce a zine with your own allocated country to celebrate EUROVISION 2010.
THE CLAUSES:
1. You have to register first.
2. You have to make a set number of copies of your zine, usually around 30 in previous rounds, in addition to your private run. You'll be told of the number once everyone is registered. This is 'cause everyone gets a copy of everyone's zine.
3. You include a proof of date somewhere within your zine, be it a torn off piece of the date from a newspaper, a bus ticket, a supermarket receipt or some kind of impressive time stamping device devised by a major institution.
In this particular round you'll also be issued with YOUR OWN GRAND FINALIST IN EUROVISION to include in your zine somehow.
TO GET INVOLVED IN TARGET: 168
This requires a minimum number of copies to be supplied to sticky
which will be redistributed amongst the participants after the event.
1) You email us at Sticky by MONDAY 24 MAY 5pm to say you wanna be
part of it. [Facebook groups etc won't count] .
Being 'part of it' includes the fact you'll need to do an
excess run of 30 or so copies on top of your usual print run. These
extras will be redistributed by Sticky to the other zinemakers taking
part. Thus everyone gets a copy of what everyone does.
2) On FRIDAY 28 MAY you will be emailed with confirmation and full
instructions, including how many excess copies you'llneed to make.
Before midday SAT 29 MAY you will be telephoned with your Grand
Finalist country. International peeps will receive this by email.
3. You now have 168 HOURS to make a zine vaguely (or specifically)
related to the experience of the next 168 hours and/or Eurovision.
4. You will need to include Proof of Date to demonstrate that you've
made the zine within the 168 hours: be it a torn off piece of the date
from a newspaper, a bus ticket, a supermarket receipt or some kind of
impressive time stamping device devised by a major institution.
You also need to include some kind of reference to your allocated
Grand Finalist country.
5. Zines are to be completed by 12pm FRI 4 JUNE and you'll be checked
off the official roll by Target:168 officials when you rock up with your
specfied zine copies should you chose to deliver them to Sticky in person.
If they are sent by post, they must be postmarked with FRI 4 JUNE on them.
6. Zines will be circulated from Monday 7 June. All Australian
zinesters will get a zinepack in the post within the week. Those
internationally will get them according to the laws that guide international post.
7. Everyone rocks out enjoying each other's zine around Australia.
During the 168 hours everyone is encouraged to hunker down at Sticky where
we have the magnifient C3100, typewriters and that essential long armed stapler.
We also have textas, crayons and paper. Share the moment.
