Justice through Art
Der Award geht an die Institution, die auf künstlerische Art und Weise auf soziale Ungerechtigkeit aufmerksam macht. Durch Kalligraphie oder doch Poetry Slam? Die Entscheidung liegt bei euch!

Jede Institution geht durch Schwierigkeiten. Einigen nimmt es Energie, anderen gibt es Energie. Der Award geht an Institution, die trotz aller Schwierigkeiten standfest geblieben ist und ein erfolgreiches Event durchgeführt hat!

Und dieser Award ist für Euch: für diejenigen, die klein sind in der Zahl, aber mächtig in ihrer Entschlossenheit.
Say it loud!
Der Hype dieser Institution stellt alles in den Schatten. Sie motivieren und inspirieren uns alle – durch kreative Posts oder doch einem Hype-Video? In jedem Fall schreibt euer Marketing Geschichte!
