About the nomination
A socially meaningful communication project can be your personal statement, a campaign for a specific NGO, a volunteer initiative, or a brand’s commercial communication with a social purpose.
From a single social poster to a full collaboration ecosystem, your projects can tackle humanity’s challenges—environmental decline, social inequality, cultural disconnection, and more.
Competition timeline
October 31 — Project submissions open
April 15 — Final deadline
