Dear friends of magic,
As approved by an absolute majority in the General Assembly of FISM EUROPE held in Manresa (Spain) on June 30th, 2021, we are going to make a unique design of the trophies to be awarded in the upcoming FISM EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP OF MAGIC.
For this, from the FISM EUROPE BOARD, we have decided to create a challenge open to all designer magicians, sculptors, draftsmen, to submit their proposals to us.
Contest rules:
Although the trophies of a FISM ECM do not have to be similar to the FISM WCM trophy, it is good to consider the official design of the FISM WCM so that it has some point of continuity in the design, although it is not a determining point.
The works and design ideas can be delivered in different work files, within the standards (Word, PDF, Adobe Suite, 3D image treatment programs, photos, video, real prototypes, etc.)
Keep in mind that the trophy encompasses the two specialties (stage magic and close-up magic) with its 8 categories. Therefore, it will not be appropriate to present a design in which a specific element such as cards or doves is of prominence.
The deadline to deliver the designs is September 30, 2022. All documentation must be sent before this date to the email: [email protected] If you need to send physical models, contact by email to ask for the shipping address. Of all the works received, the FISM EUROPE BOARD, will choose the best three and put them to a final vote among the Presidents of all the Associations members of FISM Europe.
In the event of not receiving any proposal, or proposals that are not acceptable because they are outside the regulations established herein, the FISM EUROPE BOARD reserves the right to present its own proposals that would go directly to a vote by the Presidents for their final acceptance.
The final vote of the Presidents will take place within the first quarter of the year 2023 in order to have time to have the trophies ready for the next FISM ECM in Saint Petersburg (2024).
The designer must think about the trophies:
first, second and third prize and the Grand Prix that can differ by size or by the type of material (or color) used in each one.
The Grand Prix can be different (always in the same created line stile).
The artist must indicate the type of material to be used (glass, ceramic, stone, metal, etc.), treatment, assembly, approximate cost and all the information that can help a better understanding of his work as well as its viability.
The winning design will become the undisputed property of FISM EUROPE who will be responsible for its final construction, stock, and distribution in the future FISM ECM.
The winning artist will receive two full congressman's tickets for the next FISM ECM in Saint Petersburg 2024 (offer by UCM) in gratitude for his/her work. Likewise, the name will be permanently published as: "design made by ######" on the official website of FISM EUROPE and on how many places is appropriate.
Likewise, FISM EUROPE reserves the right to make small modifications to the original design to achieve its viability in series construction.
