Postcard Secrets Irish Style - C both sides
Writing by aj@lecraic on Sunday, 13 of April , 2008 at 4:57 pm
Well, not really, but it’s a good idea by An Post. Had heard nothing about it until something came through the letterbox on Friday. It’s the An Post C Both Sides project.
Basically, everyone is invited to create a postcard for An Post.
“The design on the postcard can be whatever you like – a favourite memory, a special place, an important event, or even a secret. A selection of postcards will form an exhibition that will tour Ireland for 12 months.”
The closing date for entries is December 8th 2008 and an exhibition will tour around the country during 2009.
“While anyone can enter at any time during 2008, An Post C Both Sides will focus on particular communities during each month. The call for people to take part starts in January with Family Members; February, Sports People; March, Health, Wellbeing and Caring; April, Travellers; May, Older People; June, Business People/Unemployed People; July, Prisoners; August, Migrants; September, Politicians; October, Education and Learning; November, Farming Community; December,Artists/Individuals.”
It was launched in November by Craig Doyle, so I’m probably the last person in Ireland to have heard about it!
It would be great if their website was a bit more user friendly. Blog format would suit this project very well, with the individual entries all uploaded to Pix.ie to make it easier to view and comment on them. As it is, the presentation of previous entries are presented in a frame, which I believe is not best practice on a website. But that’s just geek speak and I will look forward to visiting the exhibition when it hits the road next year.
