Want To Be The Web Designer for the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Orchestra?


Greetings! ScoreKeeper here to relay information on a cool new contest I just got word of. Bear McCreary, composer of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2004-2009) and CAPRICA (2009), is looking for a new designer for a web site devoted exclusively for the BSG Orchestra and has opened the playing field for you to submit your best designs.

From Bear McCreay's Blog:

With the success of our recent concerts at The Roxy Theater and California Plaza, I think its time my band, The Battlestar Galactica Orchestra, gets its own website. Over the past few years, I’ve received frequent and generous offers from BSG fans around the world, volunteering to pitch in with web design services. Now the time is right and I need YOUR help. I’m challenging you loyal fans to a web design contest.

The BSG Orchestra needs a site that can provide media from previous concerts, information on upcoming shows, updates on potential international performances in 2010, a forum for fans, and details on the possible LIVE CONCERT DVD AND ALBUM in the works for release later this year (shhhhhhhh! More about that soon!).

Designers will be given a collection of approved images and a basic site-map concept, but I’m looking for a creative and attractive layout. The deadline for submitting your designs is 11:59pm PT, Wednesday July 1st. A winner and two runners-up will be announced by Friday July 3.

If you'll notice, there is a mention there of an upcoming live concert DVD and album which has been a topic many of you have emailed asking me about.

For more information including details about the requested site, the prize package offered to the winner, and contact information, please visit Bear McCreary's blog.







Think you have got what it takes?




ScoreKeeper!!!
