those of you who requested ways to help with your design skillz -
particularly the high school
and college students at Convergence this year - we now have two design
contests underway.

Whatever your skill set, put it to work for the Fair Trade
movement and help us tell our story via film or Flash.

You could make Fair Trade Sports ad tiles - like this Dream of Summer
one - for your
MySpace or campus web pages. Or a normal banner ad, an
e-card, a sticker, a poster, or whatever else your
brain thinks of.

When you think of Fair Trade, 
Respect, and sports, what do you see? Feel free to use our  href="http://www.fairtradesports.com/wp-content/images/pdfs/FairTradeSports_BrandCalloutSheet.pdf">brand
elements. Send
us your stuff and we’ll feature them on our
sites. Our design team will pick one winner each month to receive a Fair Trade
Sports ball of their choice.

The second contest is to design your own Fair Trade Sports ball. We’ll
pick the best
design every three months and produce the next set of sports balls
based on
your design…in addition to massive amounts of fame, you get (of
course) a
free sports ball of your design.

Sketch out your
thoughts and snap a digital photo or use href="http://www.fairtradesports.com/wp-content/images/pdfs/FairTradeSports_BlankBallDesigns.pdf">this
template for Illustrator|PhotoShop. Email it to us
and you’ll be entered into the contest. Multiple entries allowed. Have
fun!
