Swangz Avenue is producing the Swangz Allstar album, featuring a
collaboration of several artists. Given the impracticality of organizing a
photoshoot with all the artists, we aim to create a vibrant and engaging
album cover using cartoon images or illustrations.
Call for Creatives:
The Swangz Allstar album is more than music – it’s art. We are calling on
all creatives who want their names engraved on this once-in-a-lifetime
piece of Ugandan art to contribute to the visual side of the album. The
winning design will be awarded 5M UGX. Our global team of creatives will
review all first drafts, and the final three will each be compensated for their
effort. This opportunity is for new and seasoned artists or illustrators who
want to elevate their art and have their legacy printed alongside some of
the best creatives of our time.
