CONTEST: Design a Flag for the World


Adbusters is sponsoring THE ONE FLAG competition.

Join designers from all over the world and submit your entry for flag "that embodies the idea of global citizenship."

For all the info, go to the ADBUSTERS SITE
You will also see flyers in the lab and GCOM classrooms.

Here is a snipet of the idea behind the competition:
"These are real targets, worthy of our problem-solving skills, ripe for our intervention. Yet those who have the vision to rise above national and political boundaries still have no symbol to rally under. We invite you to create a flag – free from language and well-worn clichés – that embodies the idea of global citizenship. A symbol that triggers pride and cohesion, whether worn on a backpack, displayed on a door, or flown on a flagpole. A symbol for anyone to declare membership in a growing and vital human cooperative. We invite you to prove that design has a real role to play in the fate of our world."

If you create a design to submit, please also e-mail it to me and I will feature it on the GCOM blog.
