Ion Branding + Design, a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary graphic design studio, has launched the second annual One Good Idea™ contest. Ion is offering $25,000 worth of strategy, branding and creative services to the organisation that comes up with a winning proposal to promote a sustainable product or service. The result should remind people that even small steps contribute to massive change. The contest is open to any Canadian company or organisation that meets contest criteria. Visit www.onegoodidea.ca for more information. The submission deadline is June 30, 2008.
When an idea can revolutionize our actions, we have the power to change the world. What is now a complex interconnected network, the Internet started with a simple idea to network computers. The Internet revolutionized communications, helping connect people, cultures and business. It has enabled us to gain a better understanding of our world, and to dream of new frontiers.
Ion Branding + Design co-founder David Coates notes, “We believe that this contest is an excellent opportunity to promote sustainability and to develop a tangible product or service that will benefit humankind today.”
The contest prize will be awarded to the most deserving proposal, as determined by a panel of community leaders and sustainability experts. The prize is open to all not-for-profit, non-governmental, civil society organizations, as well as for-profit companies that have an idea that will make a contribution to the social fabric of our society.
“Sustainability is in the news a lot lately, and though it affects us all it’s difficult to understand what sustainability really means,” said Ion co-founder Rod Roodenburg. “It’s about the environment, but it’s also about community and economic sustainability. We want to give back a little to the community and support the development of a good idea so it can become marketable.”
