RESPECT ME
Call for Submissions
BRIEF
“Respect Me” is a design show about female empowerment.
From the beginning of time, women seemingly fall short in comparison to men. They are viewed as inferior and as a result are paid less, underrepresented in the government and almost every industry, subject to sexual harassment, and not guaranteed basic reproductive rights. Underneath the myriad of issues, there is an inherent lack of respect. Half of the world’s population is female, why are they systematically undervalued? We challenge you to think about your own personal experience. Choose an issue you are passionate about and address it. We encourage submissions from all genders & on any LBGTQ+ issue.
Submit work by e-mailing krystal@grouphug.cc. Write “Respect Me Submission” in the e-mail subject and include a sketch and description of your idea. We encourage you to submit early sketches & concepts. Submissions don’t have to be polished! If your idea is selected, you’ll have until end of April to bring it to life.
SCHEDULE
All submissions are due by March 11 at 11:59PM
FEES
There is no fee to submit work to the show. If your work is accepted there is a $65 exhibition fee. 100% of the fee goes toward paying for a venue and a photographer. No, it’s not free. It’s New York.
