East West Announces Magazine
Posted by: ccweblog on: August 28, 2009
East West magazine is a lifestyle magazine with a pan-Asian American focus that is gearing up for a re-launch this October with a cover design contest that is open to all art mediums. The design should reflect on the merging of eastern and western cultures and should be submitted no later than September 4. The winner will have their design featured on the cover and they will be profiled in the magazine.
More details on the contest can be found below and at: http://eastwestmagazine.com/east-west-exhibit/east-west-exhibit.
Phoenix, AZ – To celebrate a fall re-launch, East West magazine has announced the East West Exhibit, a cover design contest for the October/November issue, available nationwide on October 6. East West is welcoming submissions of original artwork interpreting the meaning of East West and the merging of cultures. The winning design will be featured on the cover, along with a profile of the winner in the magazine.
East West is the first and only lifestyle magazine with a pan-Asian American focus. Launched in 2003, the publication went on hiatus last year to retool operations. “During this time, we maintained an online presence, and realized the East West audience was anxious for the magazine’s return,” said Anita Malik, founder and editor in chief of East West. “We are excited to re-launch the magazine with a cover contest that involves our readers.”
All contest entries will be posted at EastWestMagazine.com for online voting from September 7-16, 2009. Based on online vote totals, the top five designs will be announced at the end of September. East West staff will choose the final cover from the top five, and the final decision will be made public on October 6, when East West officially returns to print.
Entrants must submit original artwork—including photography, painting, graphic design and drawing—and a signed authorization/consent form.
About East West:
East West is the premier lifestyle magazine for the celebration of Eastern culture, focusing on the experiences of Asian, South Asian and Middle Eastern Americans. The bimonthly national publication and the accompanying Web magazine at EastWestMagazine.com began in May 2003. After four years in print and notable success in the Asian American media market, East West went on hiatus in early 2008 to restructure its business operations. The brand returned online in June 2009 and will celebrate its print re-launch in October 2009.
