Job Advertisement

 

The Pollinator Partnership is seeking an artist to render the 2014 "Native
Orchids and Their Pollinators" poster.  A 1-page narrative concept idea with
a draft sketch are due to Jennifer Tsang at jt at pollinator.org by Friday,
August 30, 2013. Final illustration due by February 3, 2014.

 

Background

The Pollinator Partnership (P2) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization-- the
largest organization in the world dedicated to the protection and promotion
of pollinators and their ecosystems. Birds, bats, bees, butterflies,
beetles, and other small mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for
bringing us one out of every three bites of food. They also sustain our
ecosystems and produce our natural resources by helping plants reproduce.
Unfortunately they are in trouble. Some species have seen a 90% decline in
their populations over the last decade.  Without the actions of pollinators,
agricultural economies, our food supply, and surrounding landscapes would
collapse.

 

Our Solution for Sustainability

Pollinator Partnership addresses issues of pollinator health and decline
using many resources and projects. We are dealing with a complex issue that
does not have a simple solution, but by addressing each area where
pollinators interface with people we can make a significant impact in
pollinator, ecosystem, and human health.  One way we address this issue is
through outreach and education.

 

Purpose

Each year, the Pollinator Partnership, along with a wide range of partners
(including federal agencies, non-profits, for-profits, individuals, etc.)
design and distribute an educational pollinator poster.  About 200,000
posters are distributed throughout the United States each year. They are one
of the most popular outreach material items offered.

 

P2 is seeking an artist for the 2014 pollinator poster.  This year, P2 is
teaming with the North American Orchid Conservation Center
(http://northamericanorchidcenter.org/), a coalition of organizations
dedicated to ensuring the survival of orchids native to the U.S. and Canada.
The theme of the 2014 pollinator poster is native orchids and their
pollinators.

 

Use

The posters are enjoyed and used in a wide variety of venues from
classrooms, fairs, conferences, and offices, to homes and educational
trainings.

 

Poster Image - Vision

The poster is aimed for a wide-audience, including adults and children.  A
scientific/naturalistic style is preferred.  The P2 staff will work with the
artist on scientific accuracy and detail.

 

Submittal Details

If interested in submitting a poster concept idea for consideration to
render the 2014 "Native Orchid and Their Pollinators" poster please submit

Timeline

Final poster image must be submitted to the Pollinator Partnership no later

Poster Size

There is flexibility with the size of the poster, but past posters have
ranged from 30 in x 12 in to 30 in x 32 in (including a galley at the bottom
of the poster for partner logos).  We suggest using a standard poster size
so that people may easily choose to frame the poster.

 

Compensation

The Pollinator Partnership does not make any profit off of the poster and
distributes them for free (not including shipping and handling).  P2 works
to create the poster each year to help educate the public about the
importance of pollinators.  The chosen artist will receive $1,000 upon
completion of the artwork and agreement and signature of contracted work for
the 2014 poster.

 

Legal

The Pollinator Partnership will own the rights to the final submitted
digital artwork.
