Many months back, we wrote about Design 21, an organization that sponsors design competitions for social good. We'd like to let you know about their latest project, which is designing a campaign for Millennium Promise, one of our inaugural Choose GOOD partners. They want you to design a new media campaign making people aware of the Millennium Development Goals, which, when fulfilled will help end poverty in Africa. We even made a video about them once. Here are all the details on the competition. Design your little hearts out.
