CONTEST DESCRIPTION

In this free contest, your task is to show us today's big bling, hip culture as seen through the eyes of Agnolo Bronzino (portraits only!).

The good people over at Piauí, a general news and literature magazine based in Rio de Janeiro, want to place one of your entries on the cover of their January issue!!!

I need an image similar to those in your Pimp My Ren contests, but using Agnolo Bronzino's portraits only. There is a huge exhibition of his work at Florence's Palazzo Strozzi right now.

The majority of Bronzino's portraits are of Medici family members, and they had money and power - but it was new money. We would like to see them updated to contemporary celebrity style in all it's dubious taste and glory: designer dark glasses and handbags, cocktail drinks with little umbrellas, men wearing foulards etc. The look should be excessive, ostentatious and expensive, not elegant at all.

We like our images to be unexpected, attractive, intriguing, fun, irreverent, worth looking at more than just once. Our covers are a big hit with our younger readers, usually college students. We received so many requests that decided to make them available for download and used as screen savers.

You can see and download 47 of our covers here:

PRIZES

The top entry that the client chooses will receive $350. The winner will have his/her work on the January cover!

The second entry that the client chooses will receive $150. Second place will have his/her work appear in the contents page!

The top voting winner will get 100 credits.

CLIENT RULES

They don't want to see a pimp, emo or punk. They want a celebrity - glitzy. Like Paris Hilton, rich, but not classy. They would like you to choose among Bronzino's portraits (must be a Bronzino) and choose the one you think is best to transform into a celebrity. e.g. To be perfect Bronzino's portrait of Bia de Medici (the themepost) would have a little dog covered in Louis Vuitton pet clothing and she would be wearing accessories and big Dolce&Gabbana glasses.

They'll need the winning image files to be in 300 dpi, print quality, in order to have it on their January issue cover and contents page. The magazine is pretty large, 272mm X 354mm.

1st and 2nd prize winner's should be prepared to make a few changes / adaptations: there's copy, text, on their cover and content page and they may have to ask for changes in order to able place the text, logo and for legibility sake. Just what normally happens when art work is commissioned. They will need high-resolution files, screen resolution is not enough.

All image sources must be in the public domain and you must link to it's web-source in your authors comments or risk disqualification.

Before entering this contest you must read this thread.

GENERAL RULES

Please upload your vector file (.ai or .eps) or high resolution photoshop files with all layers and elements intact (.psd), to the corporate files attachment area at the time you submit an entry (you will be prompted after uploading your image).

Do not enter slight variations of your piece as separate entries. Enter them as a single entry.

Please leave some white space at the bottom of your entry so the worth1000 watermark doesn't overlap it.

Any questions about what is desired by the client may be sent to corporate@worth1000.com.

The client will be granted the full rights to all aspects of the submission of their choice as a work-for-hire in exchange for the prize mentioned above.
