CONCOURS: Nominees for the Osocio’s Best Campaign of 2010

“We’re in the business of changing behaviours, not winning awards.” is the statement Armando made last year. Why are we doing this award, then? Because we want to put the most creative and innovative social ads in the spotlight, so that non-profit organizations can learn and benefit from these best practices.
Evolution
The 20 nominees this year show us a remarkable evolution in social advertising. When I started blogging about this niche industry in 2005, most of the campaigns where print-only. The majority of the campaigns in 2010 are driven by online video. Digital and real-world interactivity, and social media, are growing fast. My prediction for 2011 is that these two will be the leading campaign instruments.
Just like last year each jury member will choose a top-10 from the nominees list and score them from 1 to 10.
All Osocio bloggers are members of the jury. And I’m proud to announce these ten external jury members:
- Aurélia Courtot, founder and blogger at influence-ethique.fr.
- Constantin Nimigean, Owner and blogger at oitzarisme, an important inspirational website about photography and founder of Love Issue online magazine.
- Fırat Yıldız, Art Director at McCann Erickson Turkey and blogfriend for a long time at Elma+Alt+Shift.
- Geoff Livingston, former public relations strategist, now Co-Founder, CMO at Zoetica.
- Jean julien Guyot, Trust Manager at agency SID LEE and blogfriend for a long time at IPUB.
- Martina Zavagno: Interactive marketer working for a premium sports brand. And famous advertising blogger at Adverblog.
- Nedra Kline Weinreich, Founder of Weinreich Communications, expert in the field of Social Marketing.
- Olga Figurska, Editor in Chief at the Polish website about social advertising Kampanie Społeczne.
- Sacha Declomesnil: E-marketing and web2.0 strategist. Specialist in fundraising 2.0. His blog.
- Tim Nudd, Editor at AdFreak.com.
The deadline for the jury is February 5.
The winner will be announced at February 7.

CONCOURS: Nominees for the Osocio’s Best Campaign of 2010 announced.
Osocio is proud to announce a list of twenty nominees for the Osocio’s Best Campaign of 2010 award.
Last year, we did this for the first time and it was quite interesting. In 2010 we did it a little differently. Each month, all the Osocio bloggers voted for the Campaign of the Month. The result: 15 great campaigns shortlisted for this Campaign of the Year election (15 because in three months we had two winners). From all second places I choose personally 5 editor picks. that makes 20 nominees in total.
SITE: WAZP - WE ARE ZE PRESIDENTS
Buy a tshirt,
support a non profit
organization

You know them by name, sight and reputation.
The organizations they lead are household names
and among them most powerful in the world.
They run the world, have power and money, rot our planet,
lobotomize culture, selling toxic products, defrauding the system,
breaking laws and that's just the tip of the rapidly melting ice berg.
They respect nothing, have no values, except those in their stock portfolio
and are rewarded with mind-boggling bonuses, despite their deplorable actions.
They are the presidents.
In three words, "They **** us."
The idea is enfuriatingly simple.
We Are Ze Presidents aims to shine an ironic spotlight on these elites
using the common and ubiquitous tshirt, so we remember who they are.
By purchasing one of these tshirts, you will also help support
many non-profit organizations that every day try
to repair the consequences of Ze President's actions.
For each sale, WAZP gives back 5$ to specific activist organizations
working against the organization of the chairman concerned.
Maybe through humor and ridicule we can change the world.
At least, through the fraudulent use of their image we stand united in our message.
Through this accidental philanthropism
finally these world leaders can be help a cause other than their own greed.
WAZP.
FACEBOOKPUB: the impossible Hamster Club
Four years on from nef's Growth isn’t Working, this new report goes one step further and tests that thesis in detail in the context of climate change and energy. It argues that indefinite global economic growth is unsustainable. Just as the laws of thermodynamics constrain the maximum efficiency of a heat engine, economic growth is constrained by the finite nature of our planet’s natural resources (biocapacity).

PUB: Female Genital Mutilation
This new campaign comes from Germany and is addressing this horrible crime of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs. The campaign shows German model and actress Manon von Gerkan, the voice-over tell that she is almost perfect. She will be perfect when her clitoris is cut out.
Support our fight against this appalling crime.”

CAMPAGNE: osocio Awards can’t feed the hungry

Just for fun osocio asked them to make a concept for Osocio website and they came with these three ads (click images to enlarge).
It plays on a human truth about how a lot of social advertising is done for the wrong reasons (awards where the work doesn’t actually run) and how it needs to make a difference in the real world. Jon & Adam feel this is a needed message that your brand can get behind during this award season, seeing as how your site acts as an in-between for both advertising people and social activism. 
“Every year hundreds of PSAs are done for the wrong reasons.
Help us to create social advertising that actually makes a difference.”
Osocio fully agree! As Osocio blogger Armando said last year: “We’re in the business of changing behaviours, not winning awards.”
