Deadline Extended

We have been quiet for a month, we’ve got a lot to tell you…During this long lockdown period, we took advantage of our time to run a campaign to help the Syrian Children. The goal was to provide sanitary packs and visual information guides to combat COVID-19 in refugee camps in Syria. We are happy and pleased to inform you that we have funded 7392 euros and already started the preparation. Thank you!
We all have been busy finding solutions to protect ourselves and others.
So far, we are adding 30 more days to finalize and upload your artworks! T
The new deadline is Sunday the 21st of June, at midnight (11:59), Central European Time (CET).
We wish you all good luck and brighter days.

FAKE NEWS!

Fake news might feel like a recent development that has only come to prominence since the election of one politician who shall not be named, but the practice of spreading rumours and misinformation is as old as the printed word.

People have always twisted the truth, or simply told lies, to get what they want (or change the world). But now we have the ability to share information faster and wider than ever before. It used to be only a few media outlets or government sources that could shape public thought, but now everyone can.

And unlike the media or government, none of us are held accountable for what we post. As there are few laws or fines that can be thrown at us for posting lies, there is no incentive to act responsibly in the public sphere. Get likes (or votes) first, worry about potential consequences later. If the self-styled leader of the free world can’t be held to account for regularly tweeting and spreading blatant untruths, then what stops everybody else from doing the same?
