Calling All DC Creatives

Wow. This is really great. It’s not often that a project this proper pops up on the grid in the nation’s capital, and it’s not too late to get involved. If you’re not familiar with the Urban Forest Project, it’s a series of outdoor banner exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. In each location, artists, designers, students, and the general public will employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful statement on banners that will be displayed throughout the community. The tree is a metaphor for sustainability and, in that spirit, the banners at the close of each exhibition will be recycled into totebags and auctioned off to raise money for a local non-profit organization. Looks like you can submit as many entries as you’d like at $20 per (or free for  all AIGA DC members) with 100 being selected, printed and proudly displayed throughout the District. Check out the website here, see the project specs here, or register here. December 18th is the cutoff for submissions, so get to work and please stop back to post a link to your entries. We’d love to see what you’ve got. Good luck everyone!
