'Design for Good’: A competition with a cause

Etiko, Australia’s pioneering Fairtrade fashion brand, is seeking T-shirt designs Australia wide that promote the Fairtrade movement

The competition, which will launch on March 1, encourages people from all ages to participate by sending in fun, creative and vibrant designs on Fair trade, which brings justice to workers in third-world countries.

Daniel Mackey, Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) Business Developer says, “While roughly two thirds of cotton is currently produced in developing countries, cotton growers in these countries face a number of obstacles to ensuring that their hard work results in a sustainable and dignified life for themselves and their families.”

The ‘Design for Good’ competition will create greater awareness of the Fairtrade organic cotton industry, which has been somewhat over-shadowed by the growth of Fairtrade coffee and chocolate.

There are prizes available to the competition winners, which will be judged by Facebook friends, Fairtrade ANZ, and Etiko.

The winners will be announced during Fair Trade Fortnight (May 7 – 22) via the Fairtrade ANZ website and the ESP website.
