THE SLOG 2012 Calendar

The quote to have our site
built by developers is $30,000. To raise money we are making 3,000 A4
wall calendars for 2012 that YOU can be on! These calendars will be the equivalent of a business card for us, as well as promoting bands/venues/festivals and other people who have services that benefit the music industry. The cost to make the calendars is $7,350. We'll have some money raised from the people featuring in the calendar, but we
still need help!

Each month will display an image (photo, poster, illustrated design, etc.) of an Australian artist alongside another artist or venue/festival or event (1754 x 2480pixels x 2). Above is a mock-up of the layout, to give you an idea of how it will work. The calendars will be distributed around the country, as well as sent to other establishments, such as Australian themed pubs and bars, over in the UK, USA, Canada and Asia as promotion for you and THE SLOG.
The images will be provided by the artists/venues/other/you and can contain whatever they/you want, so long as it falls under an M15+ rating and RRP will be $25

Hi,
name’s Jacq and I run THE SLOG.
I'm very excited about launching our website as well as our first annual calendar. At this stage we have plenty of spaces left to fill and I thought you may be interested in preparing next year’s advertising now.
Hope to hear from you -feel free to call with any questions or comments, we're all happy to take on your ideas and suggestions here at THE SLOG.
Peace,
Jacq Rolfe

Hi, my name’s Julia and I’m here to spruik THE SLOG and next year’s calendar and the wonderful woman above.
I’ve been the editor of Canberra’s street press, BMA Magazine, for two and a half years and I also manage Canberra pop funk three-piece Fun Machine, so I’ve got my finger on the pulse when it comes to local music and how to get your band off the ground.
Taking out a month
in THE SLOG calendar is a brilliant way to advertise nationally and also align
yourself with an iconic music venue. I couldn’t recommend it more.
Cheers guys,
Julia Winterflood
