Good 50x70 poster competition

The creatives that wish to challenge their talent designing posters and benefit a good cause are invited to participate to the first edition of Good 50x70, an international social communication contest that will start on March, the 10th 2007.

Good 50x70, based on an idea of Pasquale Volpe in collaboration with Tommaso Minnetti, is an ambitious project that wants to increase public opinion awareness of causes and people who fight day after day to improve the standard of living across the world.

Endorsed by eminent international design associations like ICOGRADA, BEDA and AIAP, the project is organized by a team of young communication industry professionals with the participation of worldwide renowned non governmental associations like Amnesty, AMREF, Emergency, Greenpeace and LILA.

The aim of our contest is to shake up the current state of affairs by creating a new synergy between the non profit organizations and a spontaneous and radical creativity. The competition will cover five of the burning social issues which the UN recognizes as the plagues of our millennium: AIDS, Environmental damage, Human rights violation, Underdevelopment and War.

50x70 centimeters is the size of the media posters that we ask the creatives to submit to raise awareness of those problems and promote change.
