DaWanda and DAA are reaching out for World Aids Day on December 1st and invite all designers and creatives to reinterpret the red Aids awareness ribbon as new. All ideas are welcome, whether you incorporate the red loop abstractly in the context of fashion, furniture, stickers, or other art work or create your own version of the red ribbon. Established artists and designers who already work with DAA are taking part in this charity action.Your product must be listed for sale on DaWanda by 01.12.2008. Please add the tag word "Aids" to your listing. If your product is bought, 10% charity commission of the selling price will be donated to Designers Against Aids to help support their cause. The remaining 90% of the selling price is yours to keep. You may specify the selling price of your piece when you list your item. Myspace will feature selected pieces entered into the competition, and on 01.12.2008 we will showcase all of the entries here and announce the winners.
Prizes for the most creative pieces
There are twenty prizes that will be awarded to the most creative pieces in this charity action. The overall winner receives €500 in support of their creative work or studies, and the 19 runners up will receive prizes including prestigious internship opportunities, vouchers and much more.
