Is your DRTV ad worthy of a Gold Star? Apply now for your chance to showcase your talents to the world.
Once again, Resource Alliance and WWAV Rapp Collins have joined forces to present The Gold Star for Excellence in Fundraising DRTV. And they welcome applications from all over the world to really fire up the competition this year.
So, if you think you’re a bit good at DRTV then roll up your sleeves, loosen that waist belt and get ready to gobble up this opportunity - apply now!
When all entries have been submitted, a short list will be compiled and then the best 6 ads will be shown to fundraising revellers at the welcome reception of the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) on the 15th October 2008. Delegates at the event will then vote for the winner.
The winner will have people bowing in reverence at their fundraising brilliance, receive the coveted Golden Star trophy and also gain a complimentary place to the International Fundraising Conference 2009, worth over £1000!
SOS Children’s Villages from the Netherlands were last year’s worthy champions. Watch their winning ad following an orphaned girl ‘Mouna’ now.
Margot Ende, head of fundraising at SOS Kinderdorppen (2007 Gold Star Award winner), says: “The strategy was to make a low budget spot that shows as clear and simply as possible what your daily donation means for a orphaned child. And to be authentic: a real SOS-child is filmed before and after she was taken into a SOS-family and -village.
