Anish Kapoor, sculptor of the Bean, is now one of Chicago’s most well-known refugees.
This summer, World Refugee Day Chicago will be held June 22, 2013, at Foster Beach to celebrate the city’s refugee community and raise awareness in the public. In order to promote the event, the World Refugee Day Chicago Committee would like designers to submit art for their posters and social media marketing campaigns!
Approximately 2,600 refugees settle in Chicago each year, and continue to contribute to the vibrancy of the city. Poster submissions should reflect this global identity and illustrate the contest theme, “A New Home in Chicago.”
Posters must include the World Refugee Day logo in its original size, as well as the logos of all the refugee agencies participating in the event. For logos, please e-mail Charlotte Stroumza at cstroumza@gmail.com. You can then submit your 8 1/2″ by 11″ design electronically in JPG format via e-mail and sign this form, acknowledging the originality of the submission and giving permission to WRD Chicago to use your work.
All materials must be submitted to Charlotte Stroumza by Friday, March 29th. Entrants will be notified of the winner by April 8th. The last WRD Chicago poster contest winner was a Loyola University student, so get creative and keep the tradition alive!
