🌊 CALLING LOCAL ARTISTS!

We’re looking for a Cornish artist or designer to create the new Crookstock merch logo…inspired by waves, sustainability, and coastal creativity.

The design will feature on our official Crookstock merch and represent the festival’s commitment to music, community and the environment.

🖌️ What we’re looking for:

– Hand-drawn or illustrated designs
– One-colour artwork (for screen printing)
– Must include Crookstock (optional: Bude / Cornwall)
– Incorporate themes of the ocean, sustainability, and community

💡 Open to artists of all ages — whether you’re a pro, student, or local creative!

💚 The chosen design will be used on our 2026 merchandise and featured across our festival branding.

Please do get in Touch If this is something you’d be keen to help us with!
