September is Mr. Jack's Birthday Month!

The history of Mr. Jack Newton Daniel, the man who gave his name to Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey, is surrounded by mystery. Whilst we know that he was born in September, no one knows the date or, indeed, the year. That is why, every year, the whole of the month of September is a celebration of the birthday of a man whose name, over 100 years since his birth, is instantly recognizable throughout the world. Having finished celebrating at the end of September, there’s one special day set aside for a final party in his honour every year. This year, the party is in Lynchburg, Tennessee, home of Jack Daniel’s, with a show from Britain’s multi-platinum selling Plan B, who will be joined onstage by The New Silver Cornet Band, Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman of slowcore rock revelations Warpaint and bubbling-under female rap dynamo, K.Flay.

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Jack Daniel’s, UK music website Clashmusic.com and The Orange Dot Gallery in London, UK to offer one lucky winner in the UK and three of their friends a trip to this exclusive show in Tennessee!

The Grand Prize will be judged by a panel of Jack Daniel’s, Clashmusic.com and the Orange Dot Gallery, and is only open to residents to the UK. We also have prizes for the top-voted HipstaPrints from around the world in the form of some incredible-sounding portable speakers for your iPhone.

Our theme is Found Art, inspired by the hand-painted brick wall advertising that adorns the roadsides in Tennessee and southern USA, and that inspires Jack Daniel’s iconic imagery today. These roadside relics are testament to the fact that art happens anywhere and everywhere, from the strangest to the most mundane of places, by design and by accident.

We’d like you submit prints of the art you find when you take time to stop and enjoy the view. And to keep with the theme of Mr. Jack’s Birthday, we’d like you to title each image with the date and year you were born, then round up your friends to vote for you to be in a chance to win.

Tip: Take your photos on the highest-quality setting, as shortlisted images will be printed up for the Orange Dot Gallery show.
Please note, all entrants must be 21 years or older and enter their birthdate in DD/MM/YY format as the picture title. Please click here for full Terms and Conditions
