We’re celebrating Gandi’s 20th anniversary! And for this occasion, we’re highlighting our Gandi Supports partners.
In order to support these projects and to put a spotlight on the causes they defend, we’re organizing a t-shirt design contest with proceeds going to them, until April 3, 2020.
Let your creativity speak, design Gandi’s 20th anniversary collectible t-shirt, share it on Twitter using the hashtag #PrintMyGandi. The top 3 most popular t-shirt designs (as measured by likes and retweets on Twitter) will be sold in a limited run of 500, with proceeds going to one Gandi Supports projects.
Our three star designers will then each get 10 exemplars of their design and will each choose a benefactor Gandi Supports project partnering with us for our 20th anniversary, to whom we will donate the proceeds of sales of their design.
And the top winner of the t-shirt design contest will win a Fairphone, the ethical phone that protects the planet and the well-being of its inhabitants.
Gandi supports
The Gandi supports program aims to support projects (primarily associations and NGOs) that have set out to do good (to the planet, to animals, to minorities, etc.) or to develop Free software. This support takes the form of providing resources (Gandi products, advice, and experience) in order to offer concrete support according to the needs of each project.
Supported projects
In order to allow our (future) winners to choose the supported project they want to receive the proceeds of the sale of their design, until April 3 (the end date of the contest), we’ll be publishing an article per week on each of the supported projects, their missions and the nature of our partnership.
