Twenty-four NPOs to be Selected for Free Design Work This Holiday Season
San Francisco, CA, Tuesday, December 2 – Today 99designs, a global marketplace for crowdsourced design, opens nominations for their third annual “12 Days of Design” initiative that gives nonprofits a chance to win free design work for any project. Good design is crucial for exposure and recognition that helps to secure more donations and volunteers, but it can also be expensive and out of reach for many NPOs with limited funds.
How 12 Days of Design works:
- Starting on Tuesday, December 2nd, NPOs can be nominated (or nominate themselves) at http://99designs.com/nonprofits/
- For 12 consecutive days starting on December 10th, 99designs will announce two NPOs per day who’ve been selected to receive free design work – a value of up to $599.
- Design contests are in the category of their choice (logo design, t-shirt design, social media page design, etc.).
Previous winners have used this opportunity to replace outdated logos, design t-shirts for events, create campaign-specific brand assets and more. Just as with any other 99designs contest, each organization creates a simple design brief, receives dozens of concepts from designers around the world, and ultimately selects (and retains legal copyright to) the design they like best. To be eligible, the only requirement is that organizations must be registered as a nonprofit – nonprofits can nominate themselves as well.
