Calling all Young African (Web) Designers
 |
Africhic and Quirk eMarketing have devised a way to give Web Design hopefuls a shot at a year’s paid internship at Africa’s largest full service digital agency and the chance to shine by designing the winning new skin for the online shop, Africhic.com.
Africhic was the winner of the Africa Fashion Awards Retailer of the Year 2010, a worthy honour as Africhic.com does far more for aspirant young African designers than flog their fashion on the Internet. Rather it gives South African fashion designers and increasingly, designers from the rest of the continent a platform to showcase their work, philosophy and passion for African design to a global market.

Submissions close 30 September 2010 and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter and will see their artwork come to life on the new Africhic website, as well as R5000 in online credit for their shopping pleasure on Africhic.com.The winner will also be able to pursue a career in the digital creative arts, kick started by a coveted internship at Quirk eMarketing.
