Create artwork inspired by money mindfulness for Nationwide’s Instagram channel
Nationwide is back for the 3rd time!
As a building society, they were founded by everyday people to help everyday people and that’s not changed. We all know that the cost of living in the UK continues to rise, affecting us all. Living with less money and staying on top of everything can be a struggle. So, they want to encourage people to have more open and honest conversations about money and ask for help when they need it.
Nationwide would like to work with creators to create a series of artwork around what it means to them to spend mindfully, why we need to talk about money and why it’s essential to ask for help when needed. We’re calling this brief “money mindfulness”.
The brief: Create bold and uplifting mixed media artwork (digital illustrations, gifs, or animations) inspired by the theme of money mindfulness. The work will be used on their new Instagram channel.
12 pieces of work will be chosen by Nationwide as Selected Creators, and receive £500 each. This opportunity is only open to residents of the United Kingdom.
