Shareable Image Contest!


CODEPINK & National Priorities Project Invite You to Enter the Bring Our War $$ Home Shareable Image Contest!

  • Set your creativity free to express your frustration with the money spent on war and militarism instead of human needs.
  • The winning images - First, Second and Third Place - will be published on 2 high-traffic websites - codepink.org and nationalpriorities.org - promoted on social media, and seen across the US!
  • Contest Prizes: First Place - $200 plus Large PINK Swag Package; Second Place - $100 plus Medium PINK Swag Package; Third Place - $50 plus Small PINK Swag Package.

Follow this simple guideline:

  • Create an image that visually and viscerally contrasts the cost of some aspect (weapons system, overseas bases, military marching bands, etc.) of US militarism with unmet/underfunded human needs! When people feel they are more likely to act.
  • See example below (CODEPINK's most shared image ever) - but feel free to use your own creativity in design.

Contest Rules:

  • Open to all ages and all nationalities.
  • Create a shareable graphic (JPEG format only) to contrast US war/militarism/surveillance expenses with an unmet/underfunded human need.
  • All facts (such as cost of the F-35 jet, or number of US children living below the poverty line) must be sourced with a URL (such as http://nationalpriorities.org/tradeoffs/041713/). Entries will be fact-checked by judges.
  • Must use some color pink in the design.
  • Optional: you may include 1 hashtag in your design.
