Interesting project! Hahaha

You say the winner will receive $250 and a pavlova...but to be fair, 1st place is $210, and then Design Crowd take 15% commission, and then whatever other taxes there are from PayPal...

Haha, anyway, you looking for an Illustration or?

Cheers,

Simo

Hi Simo, actually 1st place is $500, we're updating this now. And this is a DesignCrowd Australia sponsored contest so you get the full amount (minus the PayPal transaction fee).

Yes, we're looking for illustrations in the form of an infographic, check out this page for some inspiration http://dailyinfographic.com/. Infographics are visual representations of data, hence the ABS mention in the brief...find some interesting statistics and turn them into a cool illustration that shows what Australian means to you. Definitely room for something funny :)

hi
honestly this project is difficult because it involves the country, while I am not Australian .. but I'm sure you also give a guide to the designer .. however I will try my best to you .. do you want this infographic in portrait or landscape .. please?

Sorry 'bout the delay mate...

I've been flooded with work left, right, and center. Will get a design up the next couple of days...

Cheers,

Simo

It seems it doesn't let me post anything? It says "This contest is for Australian Designers only"...

I think the website doesn't let anyone but people who live in Australia post into this project? While I am Australian, I have been traveling and working around Europe for the past year...so I'm guessing the website has recognised that the region I'm in, is Europe?

Is there an option to show my passport somewhere? haha

Thanks for your question, yes, it's not an easy project but you don't have to be Australian at all to join this contest.

Suggest you choose one theme or idea and then apply it across different contexts or dimensions. E.g. you could pick that Australia was a nation of settlers and convicts, that we have unique animals and plants, or that Australia is surrounded by the ocean. Australia is multicultural with people from China to Brazil living together. We have a resource-rich economy but we used to believe our wealth 'rode on the sheep's back' ie. agriculture. Often people associate 'Australian food' to mean lamingtons, pavlova, meat pies and beers.

Does that help?
