BETTER DESIGN FOR THE GREATER GOOD






eight goals




DESIGN 21 thanks all entrants and congratulates the winners of our Millennium Promise competition, which drew 78 entries from 26 countries. The object was to promote awareness of the Millennium Development Goals and inspire new audiences to take action in the fight to end poverty. South Korean designer Jisuk Jung's "Eight Goals" emerged as the Overall Winner, selected by Millennium Promise CEO John McArthur. Jung's accomplished animation of the MDGs captured the "spirit and hope and feasibility that inspires Millennium Promise's work" said McArthur. We agree, as did Dr Peter Zec, one of four DESIGN 21 advisory board members who also judged. Dr Zec selected Jung's Eight Goals for his Judge's Pick; Susan Szenasy's Judge's Pick was "Millennium Promise Competition" by Cemal Mutver of Turkey, Cynthia E. Smith chose "U develop" by Sarah Spargo from the UK; and Marcella Echavarria favored "Happiness Is Easy" by Dick Orlando Martínez Calderón of Colombia. Last but not least, "HELP!" by Lana Šef from Croatia won the public vote. Jeffrey Sachs, co-founder and president of Millennium Promise Alliance adds, "The bold creativity of these designs will inspire all who view them to do their part to achieve these share global goals. Congratulations to the design community for their wonderful contributions." Click here to see all the entries, winners and judges' comments.
