Sappi announces 6 nominees for the 12th edition of the Ideas that Matter Graphic Competition consisting of both design students and creative professionals, from which two winners will be selected by public vote. Two overall winners have already been selected by a professional jury and will be announced in early December along with the results of the public vote.
The 12th edition of Sappi Fine Paper Europe’s Ideas that Matters design competition is heating up with the announcement by the jury of 6 nominees, from which 2 winners will be announced at the beginning of December. Sappi is very proud of its design competition as it gives entrants the possibility of realising their designs, and not simply concentrating on the theory. The competition serves to raise awareness about good causes and important societal issues in the fields of culture, education, healthcare, the environment, human rights and society, through the medium of print.
Following the selection meeting held at Sappi’s Brussels Headquarters on 16th November
2011, Sophie de Guignard, Marketing Initiatives Team Leader said, “Entries reflected the passion of the designers both in terms of the issues that were chosen as well as the creative means chosen to communicate these issues through print. I am very excited about the opportunity to showcase the winning designs and for Sappi to help make a difference by bringing the ideas that matter alive. Our new website has really facilitated the entry process and I am already looking forward to seeing results of our next entry round which opened on
01 Nov 2011 and will close on 30 April 2011.”
The six nominees are as follows:
Stefanie Jagschitz ‘Say no to poor and diseased’, Nein zu Arm und Krank
Pascal Krenn ‘No forest, no animals’, Bund Deutscher Tierfreunde
Koen Lamberecht ‘Frank & Linda, 60 years marriage’, Vlaamse Alzheimerliga
Koen Lamberecht ‘Louis 3,2 kg – 48 cm – 30 years to live’, MUCO association
Marie Reichl ‘Everyone deserves a second chance’, Garbarage upcyclingdesign
Danielle Schaffelaars ‘Borst BAAN’, Kenniscentrum Borstvoeding
The nominees will be showcased on the competition website www.sappi-ideasthatmatter.eu where members of the public are invited to vote for 2 winners. Voting is open to everyone and can be done via the competition website between 21 November and 02 December.
The judges have already selected 2 overall winners (one design student and one creative professional). All four winners will be announced in early December.
