Soapbox

We won! We won! We won!

Three Winkbox posters were selected as winners of the AIGA “re-THINK” poster contest. The contest called for designs that promote a direct, sustainable intervention that Carolinians can undertake to preserve the environment and communicate a sustainable practice or idea for use in everyday life. No idea was too small or too large.

Winkbox entered five posters into the contest, and three of them won: “Share”, “Unplug” and “Reduce” (see below).

The 20 winning posters will be professionally printed and on display at Designbox in Raleigh, NC, during the month of April.

Exhibition reception:

April 4, 2008

Let us know if you are planning to attend, and maybe we can “share” a ride.

Copies of the printed posters will also be sent to AIGA Charlotte and AIGA South Carolina for public display. Additional copies will be available for purchase at the show and we will be there to sign them for you.

You can view the 20 selected posters here.

You can view all 121 submitted posters here.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Anna Bridges for feeding our creative talents on this and many other projects.
