Greenpeace Design Awards
The concept of the "Greenpeace Design Awards" was originally developed by Gjoko Muratovski in conjunction with Greenpeace Australia Pacific, and managed together with Greenpeace International, School of Art, Architecture and Design (University of South Australia), UniLife Inc, and the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery.
The international poster design competition was launched on 1 March 2009, and within months attracted the participation of over 1500 creatives from 77 countries. The Awards are an extension of the Greenpeace ‘brand’ and they have established a new link between Greenpeace and the global creative community. The Awards had an international judging panel that consisted of wide range of industry professionals and academics.
The iconic "Ape Guevara" poster for the "Greenpeace Design Awards" was designed by the Greenpeace Design Awards Director - Gjoko Muratovski.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
