Dear Yuck 'n Yummers,
We are delighted to announce that the winners of Zine Idol are The Collage Collective (CC)!
The Aberdeen based collective received £500 seed money plus all of our support and guidance to fund their zine production.
On Saturday 8th February Zine Idol took place at the Hannah Maclure
Centre's Micro Cinema in Dundee. Zinesters from across Scotland made
their pitch to our select panel, who had the tough decision to pick a
winner out of all the worthy presentations.
In attendance were CC, Barnum's Baby, Plastik Zine, ST-ART Magazine and
Anti-Zine. All participants were able to make new connections, dialogues
and friendships through the event. CC is made up of artists, writers,
musicians and designers and have already been beavering away to bring
you their first call out - see below
// CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS // DEADLINE 21st March
THE CC PRESENTS: KEN / DA KEN
The Uncanny was term appointed by Freud to denote the schism and
dichotomous relationship between things which seem familiar yet
simultaneously foreign. The concept alludes not just to an object,
person or place(s) apparent meaning and reason but also its implicit
meaning.
“KEN” derived from the Old English “ken” (knowing or to know) holds an
independent resonance within Scotland, still used frequently
linguistically e.g. “Y’ken” - “Aye I ken”.
WHAT WE WANT:
— Works in any media that responds to the afore-
mentioned theme. We are looking for submissions from;
artists, designers, writers and performers.
We ask that works are sent digitally as jpegs or rtf/word
docs for text formats. Files should be a max of 2mb.
Please consider when submitting images the final zine will be produced
in B&W and in A5 format. If your work requires two pages please
state this when submitting and we will take it into consideration.
Email submissions to thecollagecollective @ gmail.com
Include the following: //NAME: | COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: | TITLE OF WORK: | MEDIA: | DIMENSIONS: //
Even if your submission is unsuitable for this issue of “THE CC
PRESENTS:” we shall keep details of both you and your works in a form of
archive in case your works seems more suited to a future issue.
Yuck 'n Yum is massively thankful to all
who took part and all can count on Yuck 'n Yum's full support in their
future endeavours. We'd also like to say a special thanks to Clare
Brennan and her team at The Hannah Maclure Centre, Abertay University,
