Creative Action Network is a marketplace for social impact design work covering a range of progressive issues. We believe that art has the power to create real social change and, to that end, invite you to submit designs for the causes that are most important to you. You are welcome to submit as many designs as you like as long as each design is a distinctly different concept (as opposed to multiple variations of the same idea). All designs that meet the requirements listed below will be published as prints and select designs will be made into apparel and other home goods (this requires a layered/transparent file, see below). You will receive 10% of all sales revenue, 40% of all licensing publishing royalties, and 1% will be donated to our non-profit cause partners. Be sure to check out our artist terms and conditions for more information.

If you're looking for the creative briefs for our previous campaigns, you can find them all here.

• Be in support of a single topic (see the list of topics below).
• Follow the spirit of “celebrating what you want to see more of.”
• Be a vertically oriented, 12" by 16" RGB image at a resolution of 300dpi (3600 by 4800 pixels) that is a JPG or PNG
• Keep a safe area of at least 1" on all sides (don’t place text too close to the edge)
• Include an apparel file that is layered or includes a transparent background (AI, PSD, PNG, TIFF)

Your Design Should Not:

• Be mean-spirited or divisive
• Include logos or urls (small artist signatures are fine)
• Use copyrighted images or images that don't belong to you. All images you use should be your own, or available under a creative commons or other similar license.

Together with our friends at Economic Security Project we've launched Masks for the People, a new art campaign that sheds light on the economic inequalities all around us and sends free masks to those in our workforce who need them. We're seeking designs for our mask campaign and that's where you come in!

Inequality is more apparent than ever during the time of COVID-19, and our campaign will highlight issues of workers rights v. corporate power, hold corporations accountable for profiting from the hard work of their laborers and most importantly, help our essential workers stay safe, healthy and supported during this time. Face masks have become a necessary part of everyday life in 2020 (and beyond!) so we'll use them as a unique canvas to help support and properly honor working people with our art.

As the artist, you will receive 10% of all sales revenue from your mask and for every mask sold, Creative Action Network will donate a mask to a worker. We're seeking mask designs that follow this list of suggested prompts, although feel free to submit your own as long it follows the general theme of elevating workers above the big corporations that profit from them. 

Suggested topics, prompts & taglines:

• Workers Rights
• People Power
• People Over Profit 
• I Am More Important Than The Economy 
• I AM The Economy
• Essential As Hell 
• I Am Essential 
• Fists raised in the air 
• The globe / earth 
• Power To The Workers
• Thank a Worker
• Essential Workers Need Essential Rights
• Masks for the People

Artwork specifications:

• A horizontally oriented, 11.5" wide x 7" high RGB image at a resolution of 300dpi (3450 by 2100 pixels) that is a JPG or PNG

Every great book deserves a great cover. Sadly, many of the greatest classics in the public domain are left with poorly designed or autogenerated covers that fail to capture what makes these books exciting and inspiring to us. We're asking illustrators, typographers, and designers of all stripes to create new covers for over 150 of the greatest works of fiction in the public domain including new 2019 titles! Together we can help to keep these classics fresh, modern, and accessible to new generations of readers.

“The country needs, and unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something” - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1932

“This is going to be the (Green) New Deal, the Great Society, the moon shot, the civil-rights movement of our generation.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 2019

Nearly 100 years ago, staring down The Great Depression, our government put the nation’s artists to work, shaping America’s vision of itself, with President Roosevelt’s New Deal. The artists, the art, and the story of America coming together stands out in history as a model for tackling our biggest problems, and inspired us to start CAN in the first place (we even made sure our name was 3 letters, just like the WPA).

 

Today, we find ourselves in a similar position, facing down climate change, income inequality, racial injustice, and more problems too big for small solutions. That’s why we’re so excited to join the movement advocating for a Green New Deal: a set of progressive legislative proposals aimed at, among other things, curbing the effects of climate change and transforming the U.S. economy and infrastructure. While the Green New Deal is still in its infancy, at CAN we’ve taken up the charge of helping the public understand and imagine what could be possible with this exciting new set of policies -- just as the artists of the original New Deal helped to inform and advocate for those innovative programs over 80 years ago.

We’re seeking poster designs that advocate for and help visualize the Green New Deal and one or more of its main themes (see below). We launched this collection of posters at a first-of-its-kind event in Washington D.C. on March 14th, bringing together the top Green New Deal advocates, policy-makers and investors in the nation.

Topics:  

• Restoration of Wetlands
• Building Retrofits
• Ocean Health
• Climate Refugees
• Income Inequality
• Racial Equality / Climate Justice
• Lower Energy Costs for Citizens 
• Job Retraining / Continuing Education
• Zero Emission Vehicles 
• Green Public Transportation
• Reforestation

Your Poster Design Should:  

• Elevate and advocate for the Green New Deal either in its entirety or by choosing one of the themes listed above.
• Include the text "Green New Deal" in some capacity.
• Take stylistic inspiration from (but not be limited by) the art of the original New Deal/WPA.
• Emphasize diversity, equality, cooperation, coming together to save the country and the world.
• Be a vertically oriented, 12" by 16" RGB image at a resolution of 300dpi (3600 by 4800 pixels) that is a JPG or PNG
• Be full bleed (no margins or borders)
• Keep a safe area of at least 1" on all sides (do not place text too close to the edge)

 Your Design Should Not:

• Be partisan or mention any political group, candidate.
• Include urls or logos (small artist signatures are fine)
• Use copyrighted images like brand logos, editorial photography of celebrities or politicians, or someone else’s artwork. All images you use should be your own, or available under a creative commons or other similar license.

Optional: Additional Products

If you think your Green New Deal poster design would make a cool button or t-shirt, please consider submitting designs for those products as well! There’s no guarantee we’ll be able to print them all, but we think there could be a demand for buttons and apparel and we’d love to try some designs!

In addition to the Poster requirements, your Apparel Design Should (optional):

• Be free-floating (not compositionally reliant on the frame of the image)
• Be a vertically oriented, 15" by 19" RGB image at a resolution of 300dpi (4500 by 5700 pixels)
• Be a transparent or layered file with a solid background color (TIFF, PNG, PSD, or AI)

In addition to the Poster requirements, your Button Design Should (optional):

• Be a square, RGB image at 1035 by 1035 pixels that is a JPG or PNG
• Fill the entire square canvas but content should crop to a circle.
• Keep a safe area of at least 100 pixels on all sides (don’t place text or important objects too close to the edge).

F.Y. Eye is a New York nonprofit advertising group that works exclusively with other nonprofits, social enterprises, and government agencies to build public awareness about the wealth of social, civic, educational, legal, financial and health-related resources available to people in need. Since 2005, they have helped more than 95 mission-driven organizations distribute over 175 campaigns that generate attention and action on issues of public concern. F.Y. Eye is building an Impact Artist Collective of creative people who want to use their skills for the public good. The Impact Artist Collective provides members access to exciting and meaningful creative projects for nonprofits and government agencies as well as networking and professional development opportunities.

Once every ten years, the United States Census takes a count of every person (citizen and non-citizen) residing in the United States. The taking of the census is mandated by the United States Constitution and has occurred every 10 years since 1790. But the census is so much more than just a population count. Census information is used to determine how federal funds for public education, infrastructure, and critical services are allocated, as well as how many congressional seats every state gets in the House of Representatives, and how legislative districts are drawn.  

The stakes are high for the 2020 Census. The Trump administration’s politically motivated attempt to add a citizenship question to the census questionnaire aimed to discourage noncitizens from completing the census and subsequently reduce the political and economic power of immigrant-friendly states like New York and California. Even though the Supreme Court blocked the citizenship question, the scare tactics worked and the damage has been done. Many people are afraid to fill out the Census form, even without the citizenship question, increasing the likelihood of an undercount in blue states with large immigrant populations. 

Now, New York’s fair share of funding and political representation is at risk. A population undercount is predicted to reduce New York’s political representation in Washington by two congressional seats, reduce the number of federal dollars allocated for public and nonprofit services, and reinforce partisan gerrymandering. 

How Your Art Can Help 

We can use the power of art and design to educate New Yorkers on how the results of the 2020 Census will impact their communities for the next ten years and motivate historically undercounted populations to fill out the census questionnaire. 

F.Y. Eye is seeking print and digital designs that visualize the importance of participating in the 2020 Census. The design should be simple and feature one of the three key messages listed below. 

Select designs will be displayed on indoor and outdoor digital billboards (“The F.Y. Eye PSA Network”) located in high-visibility community and nonprofit spaces throughout New York. You can learn more about the locations of the digital billboards on the F.Y. Eye PSA Network Map. Your art could be seen all over the city by over 1 million New Yorkers! 

What’s more? F.Y. Eye will be printing and displaying select designs on high-visibility windows in hard-to-count neighborhoods. To complement the window posters, F.Y. Eye will be dropping 2020 Census postcards featuring your art to community based organizations to be placed in takeout and delivery food packages being provided to New Yorkers in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, F.Y. Eye will also share submissions with NY Counts 2020—a broad-based statewide coalition composed of racial, ethnic, immigrant, religious, health, education, labor housing, social services, and business groups working to ensure every New Yorker is counted. We will encourage members to display posters at their locations and disseminate your work through influential social media channels. 

Design Guidelines: 

The design should include one of the three 2020 Census Slogans below and motivate one or several of the listed hard-to-count populations to fill out the 2020 Census questionnaire. 

F.Y. Eye developed these slogans based on behavioral design principles and tested their effectiveness through surveys and focus groups in collaboration with the Association for a Better New York (ABNY), Count All Kids and other community partners. 

• Your community is counting on you—Get counted! Complete the 2020 Census.
• 10 Minutes of your time. 10 years of funding. Complete the 2020 Census.
• Make sure your community gets its fair share of government funding. Fill out the Census.

In addition to the slogan, the following must be integrated into the visual design:

• Census questionnaire website – www.2020census.gov 
• Census phone number – (844) 333-2020 
• F.Y. Eye logo (Download the logo here)

 
Your design can be a big text phrase illustrated in a cool way or it can include a graphic and have the slogan as the headline.

 

Once the designs are complete, we will be working with translators to get the text translated into Spanish, Chinese, French, and Korean.

Your Poster and Postcard Design Should:  
 

• Be a vertically oriented
• Poster Spec: 12" by 16" RGB image at a resolution of 300dpi (3600 by 4800 pixels)
• Postcard Spec: 5" x 7" RGB image (630 x 450 pixels).
• Keep a safe area of at least 1/8" on all sides. Do not place text too close to the edge.
• Be simple: the average viewer will only spend 5 to 10 seconds viewing the design, read any text and digest the message;
• Feature one large dynamic image: we suggest artists include one bold image instead of a handful of images to improve visual impact;
• Be colorful and try not to use more than 3 colors: use bright and contrasting RGB colors within the design to attract eyes to the message (see best combinations below). The inks used will be 4/0 UV fade resistant inks; 

 

• Include a solid background to ensure the foreground image stands out; 
• Have a large font size and use simple fonts that are legible from a distance;
• Be delivered as PDF, PNG, and JPEG files. 

 

 Your Design Should Not:
 

• Be partisan or mention any political group or candidate 
• Include any other urls or logos (small artist signatures are fine)
• Use copyrighted images like brand logos, editorial photography of celebrities or politicians, or someone else’s artwork. All images you use should be your own, or available under a creative commons or other similar license.

With the midterm elections almost here, we as a country are getting our first opportunity since the 2016 election to be heard at the ballot box. We have a chance to flip the House blue and put a major check on the current administration. Which is why we’re partnering with Swing Left, to shine a light on the 78 "winnable" Swing Districts and inspire everyone to volunteer in these districts to get out the vote in the midterms, because there is so much at stake.

Between now and the election on November 6th, 2018, we’re seeking travel postcards that depict each of the 78 Swing Districts (listed below). We’re inviting artists and designers from in or near these districts to celebrate what is unique and wonderful about each district (such as hometown heroes or landmarks), as a creative way to encourage volunteers to visit their closest district with Swing Left to knock on voters’ doors, which is the most effective way to drive turnout. Click here to find your closest Swing District.

Proceeds from this campaign will support Swing Left, a political group working to win a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives in 2018 by building a grassroots network of volunteers and donors in targeted Swing Districts across the United States. All submitted artwork may be used by Swing Left in their online & offline campaign materials.

• Keep a safe area of at least 1" on all sides (don’t place text too close to the edge)
• Include an apparel file that is layered or includes a transparent background (AI, PSD, PNG, TIFF)

• Use  copyrighted images like brand logos, editorial photography of celebrities or politicians, or someone else’s artwork. All images you use should be your own, or available under a creative commons or other similar license. Take note of your source and include that when you submit.

Winter is coming. The midterm elections are fast approaching, and that means it’s our chance to change our government. We all know the classic “I Voted” stickers we get on Election Day at the polls, and now we’re inviting artists & designers to create voting buttons that we can all wear proudly leading up to election day and encouraging everyone to vote. 

Between now and Election day on November 6th, 2018, we’re seeking non-partisan button designs that encourage people to exercise their right to vote. Taking inspiration from the classic “I Voted” stickers, let’s get ahead of the game and let people know that you’ll be voting and encouraging everyone you know to vote. And for the first time, we’ll be producing and selling all submitted designs as actual buttons!!

Proceeds support HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that works with musicians to promote participation in democracy.

Millions of people are at economic risk because of the ripple effects of COVID-19. People across the country and around the world need money to pay bills and rent, they need money to care for their families, they need money to stay healthy and we all need money to keep the economy moving. Without money during this difficult time, people are suffering. We're deeply concerned about this at CAN and so we've partnered with the Economic Security Project to try and help with art.

We're seeking quick, bite-sized art for social media that calls attention to the very serious economic risks people are facing because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economy. We're hoping the art will encourage people to post stories about their challenges during this time, what kind of economic relief they need and how they would use that money if they got it. The art will be used initially on social media in to help spread the word.

Note: Because this is a public benefit campaign, unlike the rest of our art campaigns we won't be selling products that incorporate this art online or in our shop.

Your Design Should:  

• Include the hashtag #moneyforthepeople or the text "Money for the People" or both, on the design.
• Be a square, RGB image at least 1035 by 1035 pixels at 300 dpi, that is a JPG or PNG. This is the image we will use for posts on social media.
• Be a vertical rectangle, RGB image at least 1080 by 1920 pixels at 300 dpi, that is a JPG or PNG. This is the image we will use for stories on social media.
• Focus on an aspect of COVID-19 that has caused a disruption to daily life, such as lost wages, staying home, sheltering in place, not being able to work, having to care for sick friends and family, etc.
• Optional: Include a transparent file for buttons and apparel (AI, PSD, PNG, TIFF)

 Your Design Should Not:

• Be partisan or negative
• Include urls or logos (small artist signatures are fine)
• Use copyrighted images like brand logos, editorial photography of celebrities or politicians, or someone else’s artwork. All images you use should be your own, or available under a creative commons or other similar license.
