Another year, another PICNIC Festival. This year, the central theme of the Festival is New Ownership: the shift from top down to bottom up. PICNIC will investigate, together with its partners and friends, what New Ownership means and what new opportunities it offers for our personal lives, society, business and planet. And, for making campaigns. Everybody is invited to make and add something. We will provide you with a PICNIC Festival 2012 Collaborative Campaign Kit, which is a PDF file with instructions so you too can make our next ad. Or poster. Every week until September 1, 2012, we will choose one submission. The creator will receive a 2-day, PICNIC Festival 2012 pass. Niceness! Read less
