Create the poster for 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures; a competition to promote better communication and understanding between all peoples and cultures.

Application Closes: March 09, 2010 at 05:59PM UTC

Public Voting: March 11, 2010 to March 18, 2010 at 05:59PM UTC

Results Announcement: April 05, 2010 at 06:00PM UTC

The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures, and has defined three main dimensions: dialogue, mutual understanding, and cooperation.

UNESCO, as a specialized agency of the United Nations entrusted with the mandate to build “the defences of peace in the minds of men,” has been designated as lead agency of the Year within the UN system.

Let us recall that the quest for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples is deeply entrenched in UNESCO’s Constitution (1946) as one of the best guarantees of peace in the world and constitutes an overarching objective of the Year 2010.

Furthermore, one of the major aims of the Year will be to demonstrate the beneficial effects of cultural diversity recognizing the importance of transfers and exchanges between cultures through implicit or explicit dialogue that underlines how all cultures and civilizations are interlinked and contribute to the progress of humankind.

The strategy of the International Year consists in mainstreaming the above-mentioned principles in all policy-making at local, national, regional and international levels through the involvement of the greatest number of relevant stakeholders. The activities carried out under the International Year focus on:

  • Promoting reciprocal knowledge of cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity
  • Building a framework for commonly shared values
  • Strengthening quality education and the building of intercultural competencies
  • Fostering dialogue for sustainable development.

Participants of the competition are invited to express their vision and understanding of the “Rapprochement of Cultures” by designing posters that creatively emphasize the importance of exchange and dialogue among and between cultures in ensuring social cohesion and harmonious coexistence.

Prizes

30 posters will be selected for printing and showcasing at UNESCO Headquarters during the International Festival of Cultural Diversity in May 2010. See “Proposed Usage of Winning and Selected Entries” outlined above for details.

From the 30, UNESCO will select an Overall Winner who will receive a $2000 cash prize plus an invitation from UNESCO to attend the poster exhibition at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in May 2010. The winner’s trip (airfare, accommodation and per diem) will be paid for by UNESCO. The trip may not be substituted for cash payment.

In addition, two DESIGN 21 Advisory Board members will select their individual Judge’s Pick with a prize of $500 each.

Greenpeace Design Awards May 19, 2009

Historically posters have been inextricably linked with cause-related campaigns. Visually striking, often iconic and frequently iconoclastic, posters grab the attention like no other medium. They effectively help spread a succinct message and in doing so shift attitudes and contribute to significant changes within society.

The brief is to design a poster that delivers the message ‘Be a Part of the Action’ – this does not necessarily have to be expressed in words. The poster could bear witness to catastrophic environmental damage and in doing so, cause outrage. Alternatively the poster could actively encourage peaceful protest to expose an environmental problem.

Above all, the poster needs to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire action.

The purpose of Greenpeace Design Awards is to acknowledge the achievements of the most innovative and creative individuals whose work best reflects environmental concerns in a visually striking and iconic way.

Entrants will have a chance to bring about real change in society as their work will be considered for use for major Greenpeace Australian Pacific campaigns.

In recognition of the excellence in design, the winning entrants will be awarded a unique Greenpeace Design Awards trophy.

FILE – Electronic Language International Festival – is opening registrations for its ninth edition, that will be held at Sesi Paulista’s cultural space, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the period from August 04 to August 31, 2008. Submissions are free and open to professionals, researchers and students of the electronic language.

……………………………………………………………………..

FILE Labo

We are proud to announce that FILE Labo, the new media laboratory of Electronic Language International Festival, is now launching its first call for project proposals.

If you have an idea and are an artist, a designer, a programmer, an engineer, a scientist, or if you have developed any work for your university or for yourself, and always found it an interesting work, but which ended up in the sidelines, now you can send it to FILE-LABO.

The LABO is a free territory for creation and invention; an independent and collaborative network for the development of art, science and technology, located in São Paulo, at the SESI Vila Leopoldina Cultural Center, and devised under a platform of collaboration among creators and professionals of different areas. There, you will find collaborators from technical, theoretical, and political-cultural areas, who will follow and support the development of your proposal.

Send your project or idea through the proper submission form in the site http://www.file.org.br/file2008_entriesforms/english/labo_entry.htm . Later on, there will be a project selection by a laboratory’s professional commission.

FILE-Labo will prioritize projects and ideas that can really be developed by the laboratory within the maximum period of one year.

Step up to the challenge.

One world. Unlimited possibilities.

Let’s face it — the world needs help. The kind of help that happens when you take the top young minds from around the globe and turn them loose on solving the world’s toughest problems. That’s what the Imagine Cup is all about. This is your chance to innovate and create, show the world what you’ve got, and win some serious prizes. Simply put, it’s your chance to use the power of technology to change the world — and have some fun while you’re at it.

 

Imagine Cup 2008 (the “Contest”) is a skill contest designed to recognize students who demonstrate excellence in a diverse range of technical and artistic pursuits, and seeks innovative contest entries that address the competition theme.  The Contest consists of nine (9) separate categories, each referred to as “invitationals”.

Software Design
Embedded Development
Game Development
Project Hoshimi
IT Challenge
Algorithm
Photography
Short Film
Interface Design
