AIM OF THE COMPETITION
To select a contribution for the creation of a special look for Marlene® advertising materials and packaging to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Other contributions will be selected and presented as part of a small art exhibition.
METHOD
To participate in the contest, entrants must create a work of art that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Marlene® and then upload the file in the dedicated section of the marlene.it website.
Files can be submitted in the following formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF and SVG.
The artwork has to include the main topics of the brand "Marlene® - Daughter of the Alps" by exploring one or more of the following aspects:
- the origin (father, mother, climate) of Marlene®
- the creative process, from bud to apple
- the seasons, i.e. Marlene® as the result of the perfectly harmonious alternation of the seasons
- the varietal assortment
- anniversary.
The user is therefore invited to highlight Marlene's® story, but also to show everything that Marlene® contains, bringing to light what would otherwise remain perceptible only to the taste. The ideal artwork will be one that succeeds in making the invisible visible, which will make room for details to put the essential at the centre.
Having uploaded their file, the user must then fill out and sign the form available on the dedicated landing page, providing all of the necessary details - name and surname, telephone number and email address – in order to be recontacted if selected.
Users will also be asked to read the privacy notice pursuant to art. 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679.
If the contest entrant is a minor, the consent of their guardian/legal representative will be requested.
All contributions will be published online on the website marlene.it in a dedicated picture gallery along with the name and the first letter of the surname of the author.
