Applicants have to submit print-based creative ideas that support their cause, along with a description of the campaign and its objective, cost estimates for implementation and information about the non-profit organisation involved.
Winners were selected from 113 applicants, including individual designers, design companies, in-house design departments, design teachers and students.
