Thought some of you might like to know about this design competition that Don't Panic and The League Against Cruel Sports are working on together.
The 'Balls to Bullfighting' campaign aims to bring an end to bullfighting, and seeks artists to create a t-shirt design appropriate to the message. The winner will see their design worn worldwide, sold in various independent fashion boutiques around London and also on the League's website, with proceeds going towards furthering the cause. This is a great way to get a designer's work noticed throughout the world, while also aiding a very worthy cause.
The competition runs from May 19th - July 15th 2008 on the Don't Panic site.

I don't really see what a UK-bound campaign could possibly achieve? The numbers of Brits going to bullfights must be fairly nominal, so why do you think the Spanish Nation would listen to a bunch of middle class Britnik creatives?
Given that this is the course you've set out on, I hope you only consume free range meat and dairy products?

how about they do that same contest but applied to WAR instead?
I mean, yeah a few bulls get abused and massacred on this spanish tradition that I don't support. but when you have that same abuse going on with women and children (not only in Spain but all over the world) in way higher numbers going on, it makes you think that sometimes, perspective means a lot.

Why don't you tackle something a little closer to home and take on Greyhound racing instead.
The average racetrack sees about 1/3 of the dogs who run killed for nothing other than being too slow. They're only 2-4 years and simply shot/frozen/lethally injected while you're enjoying your post race pint with your mates.

Awesome. I hate bloodsport, or any sport that exploits animals, for that matter. Thanks, orchid--I might have a go at this one if I can make time.

Cool :)
I don't disagree that the other mentioned causes are worthwhile, but since this involves a design competition I thought it might be relevant.
