Product Placement, for you literary purists, is a form of advertising previously restricted to the famously whorish mediums of television and film.

The business of writing books: Unfortunately it’s not enough just to write them; they must be marketed as well. Without marketing, fewer people know about your book. When fewer people know about your book, fewer buy it. When fewer people buy your book, you’ll soon be looking for a new job. Thus the crass consideration.

The event involves you, the author, to submit a piece of fiction with the most organic and holistic product placements that befits your narrative. The winner will be judged on the ingenuity of the product placements, logical relevance in the narrative and the usual fictional tropes (language, grammar and your ability to keep your reader engrossed)

Rules:

Entries – On the Spot

Maximum Word Limit – 1000 words

Language – English

Prizes – goodies worth Rs. 12,500

SplaT

Like to wear your heart on your sleeve and your style on your tee? Here’s your chance!

MICANVAS 2010 brings to you two t-shirt designing events. It is time to get those creative juices flowing and let the ideas loose. So grab those colours and get started on -

1. Design a t-shirt that represents you, AND/OR

2. Design a t-shirt for MICANVAS 2011

No boundaries. No specifications. Only make sure all t-shirts designed have the MICANVAS logo on it.

Prizes in store? Goodies worth Rs. 7,500 for each event.

This is an online submission, single round event. Entries close: Oct 28^th. Mail entries to micanvas@micamail.in with the subject splaT_ParticipantName_Institute

This is our crazy take on the original show, only far kookier and, if we may say, a lot more fun! While it was introduced into our roster of events just last year, the excitement it generates precedes it. With everyone vying for a spot in the final six who get to go on this journey, there will be a preliminary round to help choose those we think are up, to take on the dust, and the heat of aapno Ahmedabad and have their wits in place to decipher the clues to find the seven locations spread across the city. The fastest team to return back home will be the proud winner of insane goodies and of course the much coveted title of Amazing Race winner. If you think you and a partner have just that right mix of resourcefulness and amazingness, we suggest you be here on October 29th and leave the fun to us. All registrations will be done on the spot.

And here’s the deal – we just made it a LOT sweeter. We decided that the guy who comes in second puts in as much effort as the winner, so we should give him something too!

LET'S ADD SOME COLOUR TO THIS CANVAS.

WELCOME TO MICANVAS 2010!

by Sushumna Patel

The hardest button to unbutton would be to answer ‘Who we are?’ and ‘What we need?’ Let’s give this a shot. We are a generation which believes that we have the power to make the difference. It should be about my vision, my expression, and my innovation. We are a generation where the freedom to think is our unwritten fundamental right. It has to be about my ideas, my rights, and my needs. Our generation will include managers who market the experience, the emotion and the vision. It has to be about my strategy, my position and my consumer. We are an impatient generation. We are that future where the party and the work happens at the same place. It is about my beat, my environment and my deadlines. We make our dreams, we build our vision, we make the people of the world realize their ability.

We add the colour to the canvas.

Who am I? I am my canvas and we will make that change. MICANVAS 2010 – The annual brand management festival.

To be held on the 28^th, 29^th and 30^th of October, 2010, these 3 days is when the MICA campus will come alive to experience a near-perfect blend of formal & informal events. From management paper presentation to dancing workshops, from treasure hunts to short film making competitions, from panel discussions to the MICANVAS party, this is where you get to experience it all!

Don't keep those 'live concerts in my car' to yourself, go ahead make some fantastic money off your playlist and random musings! Welcome to random play,an event which gives you an opportunity to 'brand' your music 'band'.
