Design Against Fur 2008 contest now open for submissions

The Fur Free Alliance is holding their sixth-annual Design Against Fur poster competition. And, for the first time their new International Flash Animation Contest.
The alliance invite students and teachers from around the world to participate in this contest with a conscience. Design a creative, compelling poster that delivers this year’s message that the wearing of fur is cruel and unnecessary. The contest is open to students of fashion, design, fine arts, advertising, marketing, graphic design multi-media, and all other disciplines in colleges around the world.
They want the modern world to embrace all animals and not victimize them by killing them to wear their skins. The alliance want you to help them make that happen. Your work will be evaluated by design and marketing experts, and potentially used in national and international campaigns to end the cruel fur trade. The winners will receive handy cash prizes. The competition will take place in two phases. Winners of the Regional Competitions will go forward to an International Competition. The Grand Prize Winner wins $2,500 US.
In November 2008, the regional winners’ posters will be part of a high-profile world-wide-web vote for The People’s Choice Award. The poster receiving the most votes wins $1,000 US.
