Hello all,
Wikimedia, a charitable organization that has created the infamous Wikipedia encyclopedia, has now got a sizable grant from the Beck Foundation to create a kids magazine in English. Eventually, we hope the Wikijunior project to expand our magazine into at least 10 languages, and distribute to all corners of the areas of the world, for as minimal a price as possible.
We're looking for an illustrator/cartoonist to join our ranks of volunteers. Applicants will have the chance to design the character of "Kiki", a curious Hawaiian girl who appears in various spots of our magazine.
If you want to try your hand, the rules and requirements are below. We're only looking for a design right now. We'll recruit others to illustrate each issue if you're not wanting to commit actual illustrating the magazine. No matter what, every issue of the magazine will include credit to you. Remember, the more you have fun, the better it'll turn out. Anything goes really. As long as it looks good, I'm honestly open to any style, whatsoever.
As magazine art director, I will narrow down all of the entries to my 3-5 favourites, at which point the Wikijunior community will decide.
Our first issue will either be Big Cats, the Solar System, or South America, depending on which one our writing team ends up writing first.
Any questions, post here, or e-mail nicholasmoreau@gmail.com . The project is being developed at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikijunior .
