The Center for Urban Pedagogy wants to bring advocates for good cause together with some high caliber graphic designers to make posters about your policy issue. The image above is a sample of their work with water issues. I bet you fit this description of what they’re looking for:

…advocates, organizations, and researchers with complex policy issues that need visual explanation. Advocates chosen through the juried submission process will receive 1000 copies of the color publication to distribute directly to their constituents and an honorarium of $1000. CUP will manage the research, editing, and production processes and will provide additional staffing… This series aims to make information on public policy truly public: accessible, meaningful, and shared.

I don’t know anything about these guys but I like where they say they’re coming from. If you’ve never worked with a serious visual designer, and I know a lot of you haven’t, it’s a lot of fun.

Only one catch: “You must be able to attend meetings in New York City.”
