This competition is about more than creating great design concept; it’s about creating an end to extreme poverty. Design 21 calls for the design of a web based campaign for the non-profit organization Millenium Promise that promotes public awareness of the Millennium Development Goals (the UN declaration to address extreme poverty that was signed by 189 world leaders in 2000). The aim of the campaign is to prompt the general public to do what they can to support the cause and urge their leaders to stick to their commitment to the Millennium Development Goals.
Design 21 – The Social Design Network, is a non-profit organization and Unesco partner that promotes design that addresses social issues by creating networks between designers, non-profits and corporations. Read an interview with Design and Content manager Jacqueline Khiu here
