In January 1998 a new magazine is hitting the streets.

Called LOUDSPEAKER, it will be about your life, your way of seeing of things - no celebrities, no hype - just the real world and what interests you about it.

Whether it's sex, surfing or cyberart, racism, your life in a country town or what really goes on at a rave, we want to know about it.

And we want it in any form - interviews, articles, drawings, unpublished lyrics, graffiti, poetry, fiction, jokes, essays, rants, advice, computer art, cartoons, photography, paintings, scripts, snapshots, scribbles. Whatever.

Just remember: LOUDSPEAKER is a one-off publication, a once-only chance to freely express yourself. So we really want you to go for it.

In other words, LOUDSPEAKER isn't just a magazine, it's an event - one among many under the banner of the LOUD Media Festival of Youth Culture and the Arts.


LOUDSPEAKER will be specially bound to the January 1998 issue of Juice magazine (on-sale mid-December 1997).
