MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- 10/28/09 --
Talenthouse, the leading platform for
creative collaboration, today announced that Beats by Dr. Dre, Naomi
Campbell, Nokia and adidas were among the Creative Invites with the aim to
discover new talent, design new products and create original content. They
are among major artists and brands who have embraced the Talenthouse vision
to enable emerging artists from all disciplines around the world to secure
recognition and compensation.
Unique to the platform is the "Creative
Invite" -- where an artist or brand invites the Talenthouse community
to collaborate on a professional piece of work.
Creative
Invites provide opportunities for emerging artists throughout the world
to shortcut the usual career path by collaborating with established artists
or brands and gaining recognition and compensation for their work.
Talenthouse, unlike many other sites, protects the artists' interests and
therefore does not take an ownership position in any of the artwork
submitted.
In each sponsored Creative Invite funds will be divided between all the
artists who participate. One artist will be selected to work directly with
the hosting artist or brand. The Talenthouse community and the
participating artists individual peers are involved in determining the best
work. However, the final winner is being selected by the inviting artist or
brand.
"We believe that all artists of the world should have the opportunity to be
recognized and compensated for their work," says Amos Pizzey, founder of
Talenthouse. "That's why we are here and why global brands and industry
icons are supporting our vision."
Today, the global creative community is invited to collaborate with:
-- Dr. Dre, the legendary music
producer, has teamed up with Talenthouse to find the next promotional video
for his successful Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. This invite is open to all
aspiring video/film makers interested in creating an artistic, hip and edgy
30-60 second video clip that reflects the Beats by Dre overall mission that
"sound matters."
-- Naomi Campbell, the
internationally renowned supermodel, has created two "Creative Invites"
exclusive to the Talenthouse community. The first challenge is to find the
next international fashion photographer. The second challenge Naomi
Campbell has set is to discover the next international fashion model,
female or male. The two winners from both categories will have the
opportunity to work with a major fashion magazine.
-- adidas, one of the world's most
iconic sports and lifestyle brands is inviting designers from the
Talenthouse community to customize a pair of adidas iD2 goggles to be worn
by Olympic athletes participating in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
The winner designers will be sent several pairs of the iD2 goggles as the
challenge also requires the designers to actually implement their design
onto the goggles which will then be worn by athletes during the Olympics
and featured on the adidas eyewear website.
-- Nokia, the global leader in
mobile communications, is looking for an outstanding videographer with an
eye for talent and an ear for music to work on a high profile global
entertainment project. Nokia and Talenthouse invite all videographers
around the globe to submit examples of their past work and the community
will decide who gets to participate in this global one-off event.
Artists can log onto www.talenthouse.com to participate in the Creative

The Talenthouse launch today marks the beginning of a new era. By the end
of 2010 the platform will have rewarded more than 1 Million artists for
their work. "We offer artists exceptional, life changing opportunities.
Direct access to global brands, to leading icons. Now it's in their hands
to reshape their industries forever," says Roman Scharf, Talenthouse CEO.
