Memefest, the International Festival of Radical Communication–born in Slovenia and rapidly reaching a critical mass worldwide– is proud to announce its sixth annual competition.

Deadline for submissions is May 20th 2007.

Once again, Memefest is encouraging students, writers, artists, designers, thinkers, philosophers, and counter-culturalists to submit their work to our panel of renowned judges.

Traditionally, the Memefest team has asked participants to respond to the opinions expressed in a selected text using the medium appropriate for each category (Communication and Sociology- both written, Visual Arts, and Beyond….). This year’s chosen text is the 1960’s movie trailer for Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. This trailer features a witty, cynical, and humorous, yet dark and serious soliloquy by the director himself.



Even more urgent today than when first seen generations ago in movie theatres, Hitchcok’s genius commentary on man’s relationship with nature will no doubt provoke a plethora of unequivocal responses. And, as always, those whose work does not take a conventional format can enter the Beyond… category, where the name of the game is challenging mainstream practices and beliefs! Beyond… continues to grow in popularity as a category not only because of its avant-garde appeal but because it is open to non-students as well.

Memefest occurs completely online at www.memefest.org, and all entries will be available for full access and commentary in the site galleries. In 2006, Memefest received almost 500 entries from participants of every continent on the globe (‘cept Antarctica). We hope to get bigger, and to spread more of those good infectious ideas, so keep thinking- and producing.
