In support of Earth Day and to recognize graphic design work among non-profit, pro-environmental organizations, Neenah Paper is seeking entries for its fourth annual "Design for the Environment Contest."
The contest asks graphic designers to submit examples of brochures, letterhead, annual reports or other printed materials developed for non-profit, environmental organizations and printed using ENVIRONMENT Papers from Neenah Paper or other uncoated papers with recycled fiber.
Materials will be judged for overall look, layout, use of color and use of environmentally responsible paper. The winning designer will receive $1,000 in cash, $1,000 for a designated non-profit environmental organization, plus three cases of 8" x 11" FSC- (Forest Stewardship Council) certified ENVIRONMENT Papers from Neenah Paper. Winners of the second and third place design awards will each receive a $500 cash award, $500 for their designated non-profit environmental organization, and three cases of 8" x 11" FSC-certified ENVIRONMENT Papers.
To enter the "Design for the Environment" Contest, graphic designers can visit www.neenahpaper.com/earth for official rules and entry requirements. All entries must be postmarked by August 15, 2006. The winners will be notified in September.
"As one of the first earth-friendly paper companies, Neenah Paper believes it is our responsibility to recognize ecologically minded work and encourage graphic designers who choose recycled papers," said Gerry Rector, senior brand manager for Neenah Paper. "In nearly every industry, environmental responsibility is no longer an alternative, but it is a mandate. That is why we are happy to support graphic designers in doing their part."
