UCDA Engagement Project, 3/1/11
CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Here's how you can make a difference:
Get involved! Care. Smile. Say hello. Reach out. Interact. Show your concern. This is engagement.
UCDA's annual Engagement Project offers ways for you to make an impact in someone's life. Your design could make the difference - participate in the 2011 Social Media Issues Project. From addiction to identity theft to professional behavior in such channels, this year's poster submission leaves a great deal of interpretation to the creator.
What can you create that will cause someone, at the very least, to stop and think? The simple act of engagement can draw in the outcast, help prevent loneliness and discourage destructive behavior.
This call for submissions is open to university and college students, staff and educators. The Engagement Project is a program of the University & College Designers Association, but you do not need to be a UCDA member to enter.
Social media issues should be the focus of the entry but it is open to interpretation for meaning and message. Entries should be posters. Selected entries will be posted online and may be distributed freely to on-campus areas to highlight awareness of this important issue. Although this is not a competition and there is no monetary award, the project is a chance to do creative work for this good cause.
Accepted file formats:

Selected submissions:
Selected submissions will be posted on the UCDA website (ucda.com) for public viewing and download. Although only selected submissions will be posted, this is not a competition and there will be no winners and no prizes will be awarded. The work may also be used in other UCDA materials such as Designer magazine. UCDA will publicize the URL on the UCDA website, through emails, and in the Home Page newsletter. Participants may link to the UCDA website for their own promotional purposes.
By submitting a work, the author, designer, or creator is agreeing that it may be displayed and posted publicly and downloaded freely. Submitter is also responsible for obtaining all copyright and other licensing permissions.
