Submissions for Laugh it Off Annual 4 Now Open
Laugh it Off is proud to announce that submissions are open for creative contributions to the Laugh it Off Annual Volume 4 (South African Youth Culture). We encourage all young South Africans bursting to be heard to send us their creative stuff for inclusion in what will be a wonderful showcase of South African youth culture.
From Adolescence to Zuma, and from the economic Apocalypse to ZA’s zeitgeist, Laugh it Off Annual Volume 4 will be covering everything from A to Z in South African Youth Culture. Now is your chance to contribute to the making of one of SA’s most relevant, youth-orientated books by submitting your creative masterpiece for inclusion.
2009 has been a watershed year for South Africa. Laugh it Off aims to capture the spirit of our young democracy at this point in time by publishing a full-colour 256-page A4 book filled with the feelings, thoughts, and ideas of young South Africans. Contributions can be in the graphic or written form: everything from final year art pieces to personal photos, and from short stories to poetry, will be gratefully received.
This year, Laugh it Off will be tapping into the minds of school-going South Africans in order to better understand and reflect upon where our country is at. Teachers are encouraged to give their students a related brief/project, as selected contributions will be published together with the name of the pupil as well as the school. The more submissions received, the higher the standard of the final published showcase.
Laugh it Off Annuals have found a pride of place in South African homes. The inaugural Laugh it Off Annual was a bestseller, the second was selected for Exclusive Books Publisher’s Choice (as well as being interdicted and then reprinted during Laugh it Off’s legal battles with SAB), and the third won a Loerie Award and launched Laugh it Off’s very own religion, Humourology.
