! / !2 10Green Patriot Posters Student Design Competition Call for Entries

Schedule!!• Call for Entries opens: February 10, 2014

• Entries Due by: March 7, 2014 11:59pmEST

• Preliminary Judging: March 10 - March 19, 2014

• Winner's Announced at Public Event: March 20, 2014 6:30pmEST

!!!Background!!Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have burned massive quantities of oil, coal, and gas — collectively known as “fossil fuels” – to produce their energy. Mining, drilling, and burning fossil fuels has risked the health and safety of local communities for decades, producing grave social injustices. More recently, we have learned that fossil fuels are responsible for the global climate crisis, which presents an unprecedented threat to younger generations and the lives of millions around the world. We can still prevent the worst of the climate crisis, but we must move quickly — if we do not stop the expansion of new fossil fuel infrastructure in the next few years, the International Energy Agency has projected that we will be “locked in” to irreversible and unpredictable warming. !In Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick has been a champion of clean energy and climate action. He signed into law several important acts during his first term in office, including the landmark Global Warming Solutions Act that set the most ambitious short-term climate goals in the nation.

The challenge now is to realize the full potential of Governor Patrick’s climate and clean energy initiatives, setting Massachusetts on course to be powered by clean energy alone. Without a swell of public support before Governor Patrick leaves office, these goals will likely go unrealized. !As Governor Deval Patrick’s term draws to a close, Better Future Project and its volunteer-led network 350 Massachusetts are building a wave of support behind the Governor called the Climate Legacy Campaign to truly turn the tide on fossil fuels in our Commonwealth. An important step is communicating to the public how we can build a better future for our Commonwealth by shifting away from fossil fuels and investing instead in clean energy. We believe that design and public messaging can play a key role in building such public sentiment. That is why we have launched this open call for poster designs. Help us spread the word and take action.

About Us!!Design Museum Boston is a public, nonprofit museum. Our mission is to educate the world on the role of design in our lives and to unite the community in ways that enrich our collective work, make businesses more competitive, and solve real-world problems more creatively. After all, design has the power to make our everyday lives more comfortable, more efficient, more exciting, more rewarding, more… better. We're a new kind of museum, one with no permanent address. Whether in a gallery, retail environment, public space, or on the web, our programming gives audiences new insights into the design process and the greater social, economic, and environmental contexts that both affect and are affected by design. We produce public exhibitions, events, and programs to show the who, why, and how behind the things we see and use everyday. Our latest exhibition: Green Patriot Posters: The Revolution Will Be Designed, features posters — designed by creative people all over the world  — that inspire us to take action against climate change. For more information visit: designmuseumboston.org/greenpatriotposters !The Canary Project produces art and media that deepen public understanding of human-induced climate change and energize commitment to solutions. Founded as a project to photograph landscapes throughout the world where scientists are studying the impacts of climate change, The Canary Project has since supported and launched diverse projects involving hundreds of artists, designers, writers, educators and scientists. Their focus is on cultivating research-intensive projects that contribute to knowledge building and are able to communicate that knowledge in a way that both respects complexity and inspires respect for life. For more information visit: canary-project.org

Green Patriot Posters is a multi-media public awareness and action campaign founded and launched by The Canary Project in 2008. During World War II, emotionally stirring propaganda posters commissioned by the U.S. government helped spur U.S. citizens “to do their part” in helping to supply, arm, and support troops fighting overseas. The surge in productivity ultimately led to Allied victory. Inspired by those World War II posters, Green Patriot Posters unites us all once again – this time to combat climate change. The campaign invites designers, illustrators, photographers, and artists to create poster-form artwork relating to any aspect of climate change and environmental justice. To date, Green Patriot has collected over 500 unique poster designs which have been seen by millions of people nationwide. For more information visit: greenpatriotposters.org !Better Future Project is your client for the poster design competition. They are a nonprofit organization focused on building a grassroots movement for a better future free from the climate crisis and fossil fuels. Any Massachusetts resident can work with them to help solve the climate crisis by joining their volunteer-led network 350 Massachusetts.
