Brief of "Internet for Telethon" contest.

- Per la versione Italiana scaricare il Download kit -

In 1990, the research on genetic diseases was an important ally but not fully developed. Despite years were still not mature, through Telethon.it the sensibility of Italian people summoned, generated concrete response, and moved things forward. Since then the search has never stopped.

To date, the "3 days of Television and Radio Marathon" run by Telethon to raise funds have become an annual event, engaging and effective: 2200 projects have been funded to fight 444 genetic diseases, with a direct investment of almost 300 million euros. And above all the successful treatment of 13 children with a serious immune deficiency which was previously incurable, involving donors, doctors, researchers, citizens, businesses and government institutions.

Telethon is now once again ahead of its time, and presents the first Web Marathon for Research on Genetic Diseases, involving the world of Internet, from large portals to the more sensitive and innovative web communities. The marathon starts with creative designers on Shicon.com and will then come in full to the web and radio on 11th and 12th December: 36 hours of live show run by Radio Rai Due through Federica Gentile, Filippo Solibello and Massimo Cirri.

My dear web designers in the world, Telethon is asking you to be marathon runners and players this year: take part in the "Internet for Telethon" Contest with unique and innovative graphic designs that visually represent their mission, their spirit of social innovation which is always able to listen to those who fight for life. Propose your designs - no more than 3 unique colours - on a white shirt and a blue sweatshirt. The best art designs will be acquired and used by Telethon for printing on products that will then be sold to increase fundraising. Do not forget to include the "Internet for Telethon" line in your proposal.

The designs that best interpret the spirit of innovation in research on genetic diseases will get the prize pot for Telethon:

PRIZE € 1000 or £ 820, with PR visibility during the live Web TV marathon on the 11th and 12th December which will be divided up between 2 designs, the manner will be specified after the selection of winners.

You have until midnight on Sunday 29th November.

Join the competition on Shicon, the research needs you to keep on. Thanks by Telethon.it

Thanks
