Green Awards 2009

August 11 /CSRwire/ - This category sets out to recognise the best global examples of companies or organisations communicating sustainability. And in order to encourage global participants we've put together an exciting panel of international sustainability and creative professionals to judge this. The category is open to any company or organisation outside of the UK for a single execution or campaign rolled out in one or more countries and across any media platform.

Campaigns will be judged on their originality and effectiveness in communicating on sustainability and environmental issues and the quality of execution. UK companies can also enter this category for pan-european and international campaigns. Please note that entries in foreign languages should be accompanied by an English translation.

What we are looking for:

• Originality in approach and messaging for a specific regional issue or global audience.

• Effective use of green media channels and innovation in execution.

• The ability to inform mass audiences of the key issues surrounding climate change and drive sustainable behaviour.

• The ability to tackle complex environmental issues in a single minded and engaging way.
