A recent message to all the members of the Facebook group ‘Laverys Lovers’ has called for entries to a contest to design posters, flyers and other artwork for Lavery’s Bar’s new music night, Musicology.
The prize? A £50 bar tab for Lavery’s Bar.
Here is the original Facebook message:
Hi All
here’s a chance for any budding designers out there to have your design printed up for Laverys Flyers / Posters and other promotional material, and get a £50 bar tab to boot!!!
As from September The Whole Fandango is morphing into Musicology with Select Student Sounds. Anyone interested should e.mail me at gregz@laverysbelfast.com for full details on what should be included on the flyer.

I’m a little annoyed to see my favourite bar jumping on the spec work/crowd-sourcing bandwagon, and with such a small prize.
What do you think? Is this a legitimate competition? Is spec work fair to designers?
If you disagree with spec work I would urge you to get in touch with Greg at gregz@laverysbelfast.com and let him know how you feel. I already have.
