Northern Design Competition 2009
The Northern Design Competition was developed to raise the profile of design talent in the North, by highlighting opportunities to employers and students. It is a competition that rewards talented students across the north of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for their work in the creative arts.
Our entry picked up 2 awards at the competition and a cash prize of £1,1000 which has been invested in the company.
Winning at the Northern Design Competition gave us a great boost in confidence. It has highlighted our abilities as Designers and given us the belief that the iGiveADamn concept is worth perusing further.

"igiveadamn.org.uk stands out because it is a great example of what digital is - not just a media but a medium. It exploits many of Digital’s unique opportunities, focusing on more than just the effective presentation of information; it provides a useful service, it has sociability and community at its core, it's designed to work across multiple devices, it's interactive and it's scalable.
The concept is creative along with it's problem solving and execution. It is also commercially viable (it's live and functioning) and was presented in a highly professional manner - an accomplished project."

Thompson Real World Prize
Judges comments: “An excellent solution to a problem that exists right now. The key to this idea is that it stems from a real need - that is, how do charities reach out to people using the media that get to them quickest and most efficiently? Another reason why it deserves the prize is that the team who came up with it have done some genuinely rigorous testing. It’s a concept that would make the world just a little bit better if were to actually be implemented. And, although it needs work it’s not a million miles away from getting into production.”
