We’ve all toiled into the night on projects for good causes with scant hope of any recognition (we’re do-gooders after all!). But we believe one good deed deserves another, so we’re giving out a stack of awards to those whose creative work stacks up.

And just as importantly, we want to get a bunch of good people in a room to see if we can stimulate a few world-changing ideas of our own. We’re hopeless dreamers like that.

Why enter?

Your work will be seen by a jury made up of some of the country’s top creative professionals and socially conscious business minds.

The truly worthy will pick up an award from the AIGA, the professional association for design, and their work will be showcased at our cause/affect awards ceremony on July 9 and displayed at the AIGA SF gallery through the summer. Winning entrants will also be featured on the cause/affect site.

By entering the competition, your work will be considered for the “People’s Choice Award.” Voting on selected work will take place on the cause/affect site once the entry deadline has closed. A proportion of any proceeds from the competition will be donated to a local non-profit organization of the People’s Choice winner’s choosing. It’s a win-win!
