Create a get out the vote campaign for Born This Way Foundation that helps build a kinder, braver, and more just world—and you could win $10,000!
Born This Way Foundation is calling on visual artists across the country—from designers and animators to photographers and illustrators—to help create a social-first campaign to galvanize people and get out the vote ahead of the November election. Submit your work on Creatively here, and one grand prize winner will receive $10,000—and have their work featured in Born This Way Foundation’s social campaign, launching in October. Up to two finalists also will earn $2,500 each.
As we grapple with a pandemic, unemployment, a long-needed reckoning on systemic racism, the effects of climate change, and more, we have the power at the ballot box to elect candidates we believe will best support our communities.
The Campaign
We’re looking for thumb-stopping, social-first creative that’s as dazzling as it is thoughtful—work that explores themes of what it means to show up for your community and raise your voice as a radical act of kindness. Your work should emphasize the importance of voting this November—in all ways possible—as an act of selflessness and kindness. Submissions can be photo, live-action, animation, or type-driven; still or animated; black and white or colorful—but all should inspire us to do one of the kindest things we can for our communities: vote. Entries should be nonpartisan and not depict support of any policy, political party, or candidate.
Submissions must include a minimum of two assets—one vertical (9:16) and one square (1:1)—and should all be connected by a central concept or visual idea. All submissions should be final creative—not proposals, moodboards, or concept drafts—and all should be designed with a social audience in mind.
For more information on voting—including how to register!—visit Born This Way Foundation.
How to Enter
To submit creative work for consideration, just create a profile on Creatively if you haven’t already, and then create a project including your submission(s). Once your project is ready to be shared, add @BTWFVote as a collaborator. Now, your work will be visible on both your profile page and on Born This Way Foundation’s Get Out the Vote campaign page.
Follow @BTWFoundation and @hellocreatively on Instagram—where we’ll be announcing the grand prize winner the week of September 28.
The grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 commission in payment for full ownership rights to their winning work. All others submitting work for Born This Way Foundation’s get out the vote campaign will retain ownership rights to their own creative, as detailed in the contest rules located at creatively.life/btwfcontest.
You have until Thursday, September 24 to submit your creative ideas, so get moving!
