Good 50X70 is a communication design competition focusing on five of the burning social issues which the UN recognizes as the plagues of our millennium: AIDS, Environmental damage, Human rights violation, Underdevelopment and War.

For each of this issues Amnesty, Amref, Emergency, Greenpeace, Lila, our endorsing charities, created a brief for the contestants to answer by designing a poster. Our jury will shortlist 30 finalists for each category and from them 10 posters will be selected as “Good 50×70.” One poster from all the categories will be selected as Grand Winner of the contest. All the finalists posters will be gathered in an exhibition. The same artwork will be also collated in a catalogue. The aim of the contest is to raise public awareness particularly amongst people inside the communication industry, and the relevance and importance of social communication.
