Campaign: Greenpeace Design Awards 2009

↓ Campaign: Greenpeace Design Awards 2009

Sam Dickson (from Melbourne) won the inaugural Greenpeace Design Awards. “Be Part of the Action” was the first theme for the competition and attracted around 1500 creatives from 77 different countries!

Dickson came up with the idea for the poster while listening to a climate change expert on the radio. He noticed himself switching off mentally, thinking that someone else should be working on the problem. Later he reflected on the need to connect with and motivate people who think that climate change is not their problem, who think the problem is too hard, or who think that if they ignore climate change the problem will resolve itself. “I wanted to tell them that there is no superhero that’s going to swoop down from above and rescue us from it all.”

You can see the shortlist of the 29 finalists in their dedicated web… (and the interview to the winner).
