jovoto / jovoto Portfolio Awards 2016 / jovoto / Briefing

An open call for creatives worldwide to show off their best creative work.

Background

jovoto connects creatives from all over the world with international brands and NGOs to solve their challenges and work on innovative tasks. We create opportunities and reward creative talent, which is why we’re eager to see your most impressive work.

jovoto was created so you don’t have to climb the ladder of traditional creative work environments, or wait for the spotlight to find you, for your work to be recognized. Following up on last years success, we once again invite all jovoto creatives to submit their best creative work.

Aim

Inspire us and the jovoto community with your best work. Connect with other talented professionals and get recognition for your work. All outstanding creatives will be directly invited to the jovoto private layer.

Once a member of the private layer, you gain access to even more projects on jovoto with top global brands such as Audi, Victorinox, Coca Cola, Deutsche Bank, Greenpeace, and Unicef. As a part of the private layer of jovoto, you also have the opportunity to participate in our Pink projects where creatives work in a curated group and receive a fixed payment.

Task Definition

Submit your most inspiring and impressive work to gain feedback, attention, and the recognition you deserve. Provide a short summary or some background information about your work.

Graphic Design, Branding, Campaigns, Industrial Design, Product Design, Service Design, Illustration, Architecture – all creative fields are welcome!

Target Group

The jovoto jury and your fellow creatives from all over the world!

Tonality

Innovative
Professional
Talented
High level of skill
Impressive
Passionate

Mandatory requirements

To ensure your invitation to the private layer, submit more than one project so we can see the range of your talent and work.
Please add a short description to help us understand your work.
Only submit your own, original work. If submitting a collaborative project, please detail the extent of your participation.
There is no guideline as to whether you depict the content with photographic or purely graphic elements. But in both cases you should only use images for which you own the full copyright.

Dear Creatives of the World,

We are very happy this year again to be hosting the jovoto Portfolio Awards. Last year was a blast, with lots of new members joining the jovoto private layer and stunning artists featured on our blog and Facebook page.

What do you need to do? Whether you are a jovoto member or not, whether you are in the private layer or not – everyone can participate. Upload your best work (the more recent the better) and, go ahead, upload more than one piece of work – the more submissions the better, so that we can see the range of your talent. If we like it, and you are not in the private layer yet, you will receive an invitation from us. Verifying your jovoto account (or having a verified account) will increase your chances, by showing us that you are a fair creative who wants to be part of a safe and professional creative environment.

Have fun showcasing your talent and interacting with the rest of creatives. And if you have friends who might be interested and interesting, send them over and have them participate as well.

Let's get this started! For any questions, I am here. :) Diana

Hi Diana,

I create Travel videos to promote tourism. I recently finished a big project covering the whole Silk Road (18.000 km) and got some recognition in festivals and the travel community. Can I apply with this kind of videos?

Here is a link: https://vimeo.com/158118539

Thanks!

Please show me how to fill out the forms for my latest alternative energy concept: I successfully applied for a US provisional patent on 02/29/16 for "A Contra-Rotating, Vertical Axis, Helical-Bladed Wind Turbine." Thank you. darin_selby@hotmail.com https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=594AD6BB98B3F434!1896&authkey=!AGH01-rkTzNjc6Y&v=3&ithint=photo%2cgif

Dear creatives,

Thank you to everyone who has submitted their best work. It is wonderful to see beautiful work from all the corners of the world, and on very diverse topics. And I am excited about the remaining 6 weeks!

I see that you have already started voting. Please keep in mind to following important basic rules for voting on jovoto: – Voting is something personal and only for your eyes. – Exchanging votes is not okay (I give you a high score if you give me a high score) – Bashing is not okay (giving a good idea a bad vote)  – If you have friends on the platform and you find it hard to be objective, it’s better not to rate their ideas. – Rate using the full scale from 1-10. By giving a diverse range of ratings you broaden the range of ratings and use the full spectrum and power of the rating system. – The more you rate the fairer the result – more people more opinions. Broader spectrum.  – Always be fair and objective! Rate the ideas, rather than the people who submit them.  Unfair (cheating) votes will be anyway annulled during the Monitoring phase and you'll be risking the capacity to vote again.

All the best from Berlin, Diana

Dear Creatives of the World,

What makes an awesome portfolio that actually wins clients?

With the ongoing Portfolio Awards, we thought that now would be a great time to put together a powerful, step by step guide to help you create the perfect portfolio. Click here to read part 1 (out of 2) on our blog.

Many thanks to our guest writer, James Brooks! And if you are a great copywriter, blogger, storyteller or author yourself, and you want to inspire a community of 80.000+ creatives worldwide, send a sample with your writing to Olof at oekman@jovoto.com. We are always on the lookout. ;) And, of course, you will be compensated for your work.

See you soon with part 2.
