Baigent Digital’s Creative Tap Award 2010

The Creative Tap was founded by the designers at Baigent Digital to offer a platform for young, budding creatives, like you, to kickstart their careers into the world of digital design.

The Creative Tap is a new annual award scheme to celebrate excellence in digital creative.

Respond to a digital brief from UNICEF UK and you could win an internship as a designer and a reference from Baigent Digital’s Creative Director amongst other prizes.

Objective

UNICEF UK would like entrants to create an online flash banner to support their Street Children campaign.

  • Design a flash banner storyboard for a digital campaign concept.
  • The flash banner will be a 728 x 90, above the fold, display ad (please see template for dimensions).
  • You must include the UNICEF logo (please see UNICEF brand guidelines and logo which are included in the submission pack).
  • The final frame on the storyboard must include a donate button.
  • You can be as creative and as abstract as you like.
  • Designs, whether hand-drawn or digitally rendered, should be created with the final use for a flash banner in mind.

Due to the nature of the organisation, UNICEF appeals to a wide demographic including parents and grandparents, committed health professionals and teachers, working professionals and even young children whose efforts are strongly committed to supporting UNICEF’s work. People trust UNICEF and are inspired to support their work through donation.

What are the judges looking for?

  • Fresh ideas. Find innovative ways to attract new supporters and engage existing ones.
  • Call-to-action. Ultimately, this flash banner will need to prompt people to donate so it needs to have a bold message.
  • Tell stories. Often, good fundraising campaigns tell the stories of real people through text and images, from UNICEF’s team out in the field, to the children and families that benefit from UNICEF’s important work.
  • High impact. With an average of eight seconds to impress a website user, the designs and messages you include in the banner concept need to be simple, clear and effective.

Prizes

The winner will get:

  • A two month internship at Baigent Digital working as a designer,
  • A letter of recognition from a leading UK charity,
  • A reference from Baigent Digital’s Creative Director,
  • A brand new iPod Touch,
  • Your digital concept will be presented to the charity for possible implementation.

Shortlisted entries will be showcased at the Creative Tap Award ceremony on 11 February 2011.
