cause/affect is a biennial graphic design competition which celebrates the work of designers and organizations who set out to positively impact our society.

All work entered in the competition must promote or support social good and actively engage in enriching our lives. It can raise awareness about a cause or condition. It can celebrate an arts institution or event. All we ask is that it doesn’t contribute directly to the profit of a commercial organization.

This is a competition for do-gooders, who do good work. And it is open to all.

The votes are in and your People’s Choice winner has been declared: 826 Valencia Pirate Supply Store by Office. A proportion of the proceeds from the competition will be donated to 826 Valencia, Office’s local non-profit of choice. It’s a win-win!
