Who doesn’t love a good design challenge? Especially one that has to do with the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The Festival is seeking amateur designers from the metro-DC area to showcase their creativity through the design of an original graphic creation using the blossom for inspiration.  Entries will be judged by a distinguished panel of four, which will include Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation and Antonio Alcalá of Studio A – to name a few.  The winner will receive $5,000 in tuition prize, via Shiseido, to Westwood College School of Design. The “People’s Choice” winner will be awarded $250.00 in prize money too!

The winning design will be featured at the National Cherry Blossom Festival’s Cherry Blast: A Night of Contemporary Art + Music on Friday, April 2.

The contest is running now through March 26, 2010.  Learn more about the challenge here.

Thievery Opening for McCartney


Thievery Corporation by maxedaperture

Thanks to Thievery Corporation’s Facebook page and the Going Out Gurus, it looks like one of DC’s best groups will be DJing a set before the Paul McCartney concert at FedEx Field on Saturday.  I love Thievery and all, but does anyone else think this is a strange combination, much like mixing beer and Altoids?  Who knows, maybe Moby will open for Springsteen some day.  Stranger things have happened.
