We are inviting proposals from people who want to create Fattylympics events for these three slots. We're looking for events that are:
- Hilarious
- Visually appealing, eye-popping
- Make you feel glad to be alive
- Congruent with Fattylympics themes of DIY, satire, making things together, community, imperfection
- Accessible to people with all kinds of bodies and abilities
- Not insulting to anyone, least of all fat people (parody is encouraged, but ask us and other people if you're worried about what is and what isn't insulting)
What's in it for you?
- Amazing, fun-filled, beautiful times with incredible people
- A chance to create something really great at a unique and never-to-be-repeated event
- A lovely afternoon messing around in the park
- An opportunity to make something meaningful in the face of the You Know Whats
You are welcome to promote your own stuff in the event, but you should not treat it as an advertisement. There will be general Fattylympics banners and decorations around the place, but if you need special equipment, you will have to make/acquire it yourself. There may be help available for transporting things to the venue. We cannot pay you but we have a very small amount of money to cover some costs. We will supply judges and stewards.
Proposing an event
ANYONE CAN PROPOSE AN EVENT! Group proposals are also welcome and encouraged. Your proposal should be no longer than two pages and should include:
- Your name
- Contact details
- An explanation of what you'd like to do and in what space you'd like to do it (hard surface, playing field, grassy area)
- Pictures, diagrams, links etc
- A list of things you'll need help with
- Potential costs
- A plan for encouraging people to participate
Please send this information to beefergrrl@hotmail.com
Deadline for proposals is Friday 30 March 2012
THANK YOU!
