The Sappi Ideas that Matter initiative has taken a bold step. To find out more please read below:
Because everybody has an idea that matters…
A new format…
Sappi has been supporting graphic design for the non-profit community for ten years now. Sappi has decided to open up its “Ideas That Matter” programme to a wider community of engaged citizens. As of today, not only graphic designers (professionals or students) but public and private non-profit organisations can now submit their print campaign(s) or other projects.
…open to all actors for sustainable development
To be eligible, print campaigns, projects or CSR programmes must demonstrate an environmental, sustainable and / or humanitarian impact. This can include: reducing carbon emissions, environmental footprints, improving the quality of life of people or promoting prosperity by developing local economies and encouraging sustainability.
Apply all year round!
Some issues in today’s world demand urgent response. This is why individuals or groups can apply at any time during the year. Sappi’s Ideas That Matter judging committee will evaluate the applications all year round and award paper grants on an ad hoc basis. Grants in the form of tree planting can also take place, in an area that has suffered forest fire or to offset carbon emissions for example.
And for students…
Students have in addition the opportunity to enter a separate annual Ideas That Matter competition, within their school’s curriculum.
The deadline for students’ entries is 31 May 2011 with winners announced in late June.
Sectors eligible for entries, which apply to the annual student competition and the ongoing submission by professionals, include: agriculture, animals, energy, environment, forestation, healthcare, people, science, water and education.
