Calling all U.S. Artists, Designers and Musicians!

Wish by Andrew Bannecker
The American Cancer Society is hosting a Create More Birthdays Contest and is searching for the next U.S. based artists and musicians to join the fight against cancer! They need your talent to help spread the word about what everyone can do to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Earlier this year they had some of the biggest names in art and entertainment join in to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.  Now it's your turn. Artists & Designers, submit original art inspired by the progress we are making against cancer. Musicians, submit a music video of you performing the Happy Birthday song. The winning musician will be featured in a nationwide (US) advertising campaign. The winning art will be featured in an American Cancer Society card collection. And both will be featured in the More Birthdays Online Gallery alongside superstars like Tegan and Sara, Rihanna and Mike Perry!

The second part of this contest is that Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom has teamed up with The American Cancer Society to create four additional categories with four cool prizes.  So if you don't win the grand prize, your entry will be automatically considered for the Coolest Categories Contest. The categories are: Did That Just Happen, Can't Get it Out of My Head, Most Likely to Go Viral, and Gasp-Worthy. And I'm totally honoured be one of the judges - (Gasp-Worthy category)!

Visit Design Mom for more details and here to submit for both! Can't wait to see/hear the entries!
