SAVE THE DATE
Library Camp Australia 2011 is being held in Perth on 19 September 2011, 9am to 4pm at the State Library of Western Australia. This will be an unconference for anyone who works in, researches, uses or is interested in libraries, following the principles that session topics are set on the day and that everyone contributes in some way. It is being organised by volunteers and so far is being supported by our generous sponsors the State Library of Western Australia and Public Libraries Western Australia. We welcome further offers of support to help feed hungry library campers. Library Camp Australia COSTS NOTHING to attend. We only ask for enthusiasm and participation!

LOGO COMPETITION
We need a logo for Library Camp and would love you to make it. If your design is selected it will feature on the website, all publicity material and we will even be setting up a (profit-free) Cafe Press store so that people can buy t-shirts and mugs and other goodies. To show our appreciation, Kim Tairi, librarian and brilliant fibre artist, will make for you your very own crocheted copy of the library camp logo or a hand-crocheted librarian. You will also receive a guaranteed place at LibraryCamp for you or a friend and our never-ceasing adoration.

Here is an example of some of Kim’s gorgeous work.

Some of Kim's gorgeous work

The logo needs to be simple enough to work in black and white or colour and to be recognisable when it is a Twitter-friendly 48 pixel square. Since we would like to print it on tshirts, we will also need a high-resolution copy that is at least a 2000 pixel square. It does not have to have the words “LibraryCamp Australia 2011″ on it, but it can. It could incorporate the hashtag #libcampoz. It would need to be released under a Creative Commons- Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Australia licence .

To enter, upload your image to Flickr, tag it with libcampozlogo, then use the form at the Library Camp Australia website.
COMPETITION ENTRIES CLOSE ON FRIDAY 10 MARCH 2011 and will be announced on SATURDAY 19 MARCH 2011 on the LibraryCamp Australia 2011 website
