This was doing the rounds on social media a couple of weeks ago - a sound engineering friend of mine shared it. I think it makes a nice point about expectations of creative/non-creative people! http://www.photographybay.com/2015/11/05/watch-what-happens-when-you-ask-non-creative-professionals-to-work-for-free/ Kirsty Kirsty Sullivan Programme Manager (Schools) Museum of London Docklands West India Quay London E14 4AL Tel: 020 7001 9835 Email: [log in to unmask] www.museumoflondon.org.uk P Before printing, pleasethink about the environment -----Original Message----- From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Emma Metcalfe Sent: 18 November 2015 10:53 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Free Pitching/Being asked to work for free to 'pitch' for work Hi everyone, I know this subject has cropped up quite a bit in the past, but I can't find anything more recent than 2014. I've been sent a brief which requires doing some artwork to submit as part of a proposal with no guarantee of being chosen for the job. I know people talked about putting together some GEM guidance on writing briefs for freelancers, did that happen? Or can anyone recommend any up to date resources on the subject. I've replied to the enquiry explaining why I don't normally do free pitching, because I think often these kind of briefs come about totally innocently, rather than people setting out to be unreasonable. But it would be useful if there was some conclusive guidance (particularly something from the heritage sphere) on the subject.
