Ideas That Matter Student Competition 2010: the winners are announced
Monday 28. February 2011 - Six outstanding marketing campaigns by students from across Europe have won awards from Sappi Fine Paper Europes programme Ideas that Matter.
For more than ten years, Sappi has supported graphic designers and the non-profit sector with its Ideas That Matter programme.
Since Ideas That Matter began in 1999, Sappi has funded over 400 programmes totalling $10 million worldwide in support of causes that change lives, communities and, importantly, the planet.
The student competition, as part of the 2010 programme, set the prize of a grant of 1,000 for each of the winners in addition to free paper to implement the printed campaign.
Completed as part of the students courses, the campaigns had to demonstrate an environmental, sustainable or humanitarian impact.
The quality of the entries was outstanding and a total of six winners were chosen from four Austrian, German and French schools for graphic designers.
Eric Van den Bruel, Business Development and Marketing Communications Director for Sappi Fine Paper Europe said, “We need to encourage people to think of what can really make a difference; this is at the heart of The Ideas That Matter programme and the Sappi ethics.
“Sustainable thinking must be a part of our future so it is important that educational establishments integrate concern about the planet and our communities into their teaching plans.
“Sappi papers are fully sustainable and serve as the ideal medium for projects that help to improve lives and the planet.
“We are currently working on a new creative contest which will be available very soon and I cant wait to see the innovative ideas that the 2011 competition will bring.”
