Shareable Image Contest

 

CODEPINK & National Priorities Project Invite You to Enter the Bring Our War $$ Home Shareable Image Contest!

Set your creativity free to express your frustration with the money spent on war and militarism instead of human needs.
The winning images – First, Second and Third Place – will be published on 2 high-traffic websites – codepink.org and nationalpriorities.org – promoted on social media, and seen across the US!
Contest Prizes: First Place – $200 plus Large PINK Swag Package; Second Place – $100 plus Medium PINK Swag Package; Third Place – $50 plus Small PINK Swag Package.

Follow this simple guideline:

Create an image that visually and viscerally contrasts the cost of some aspect (weapons system, overseas bases, military marching bands, etc.) of US militarism with unmet/underfunded human needs! When people feel they are more likely to act.
See example below (CODEPINK’s most shared image ever) – but feel free to use your own creativity in design.

Contest Rules:

Open to all ages and all nationalities.
Create a shareable graphic (JPEG format only) to contrast US war/militarism/surveillance expenses with an unmet/underfunded human need.
All facts (such as cost of the F-35 jet, or number of US children living below the poverty line) must be sourced with a URL (such as http://nationalpriorities.org/tradeoffs/041713/). Entries will be fact-checked by judges.
Must use some color pink in the design.
Optional: you may include 1 hashtag in your design.
One entry per person – one person per entry.
Entries won’t be returned. CODEPINK has the right to use any and all entries on our website and social media. Copyright belongs to the entrant.
All entries must be received on or before March 31, 2014.
