An Eye for an Aye?
As political ideologies have been replaced with managerialism, and print replaced by digital, some say the art of the poster has gone. We think this year it’s due for a revival.
There is a £1000 prize money for the best entry.
We are looking for work that inspires and motivates, posters that will become a powerful and constant presence over the summer, helping the public to imagine a better Scotland.
We’ll not only print out 1000’s of the winning poster, we’ll publish all the winners and make them available for you to download and print out.
Competition entries will be judged by our panel (see below). The deadline for entries is: July 27 2014, with an exhibition of the prize winners taking place at National Collective’s Art Cave on Friday August 8 2014.

Help to support independent Scottish journalism
There used to be a good poster you could see in the bakeries and butcher shops of Aberdeenshire that said: SAY AYE TAE A PIE
Reblogged this on Bampots Utd.
Excellent!
My idea of a poster with a simple but effective message would be “15 hours or forever” transposed on to a picture of a Scottish independence ballot paper.
This is a great initiative. We need to spread the message, that we really have no choice but to vote for independence. We need to ask the question – how would you feel if after September, nothing has changed, and we’re still being ruled by the Tories, and will face the worst cuts we’ve ever seen? The only way out of this depression is for us to go it alone.
Go it alone, that means we cant afford handing billions to a sinking ship 50 million a day ta the eu , independence means we work on our own , not by rotten apples in the euro ,we work for scotland not germany or any other country in the euro? Salmond and sturgeon ta stop using this getting a seat in the top table in brussels, we have enough seats in hollyrood, and they were expensive enough, so if ye cant govern scotland its time ye get yer arses oot the back door , let,the people decide if we want ta start independence giving billions of hard working tax payers money ta the euro for paying the wealthy so get yer thinking caps on afore any vote for independence ,as mc,enroe would say ye cant be serious?
“The wariness about foreigners was to be a characteristic of the time. British intelligence had reports since 1909 about how German intelligence was being gathered in Britain and Ireland,”
he says.
When war bust come out in August 1914, espy paranoia soared passim the UK with a reckless
of newspaper publisher stories, books and films. High-profile celluloid releases, including the German Espy Peril, Guarding
Britain’s Secrets and The Kaiser’s Spies, added fuel to the kindle.
