We’ve all toiled late into the night on projects for good causes with scant hope of any recognition…we’re do-gooders after all!

We believe one good deed deserves another, so join us November 3rd as we announce the winners of cause/affect 2011: the biennial, international design competition that celebrates the work of designers and organizations who set out to positively impact our society. Join the celebration where we’ll recognize the truly worthy and give out a stack of awards to those whose creative work stacks up, check out the winners in our gallery and connect with other do-gooders.
