The most effective way of informing the public of an important social problem or need is through a complete, well-planned and well-executed marketing communications campaign.

This type of campaign, however, is often beyond the financial capabilities of most charitable organizations. The American Advertising Federation of Lincoln recognizes this and has undertaken the goal of selecting one local project for a nonprofit organization and creating for it a public service campaign. The campaign could include all creative concepts, designs, materials and media to strongly position the organization's goals and/or needs with the general public.

The public service committee will be accepting applications from nonprofit organizations beginning February 1, 2010. Please download the application and forward it, along with supplemental material, to AAF Lincoln, attn: Chris Linville, P.O. Box 80093, Lincoln, NE 68501-0093.

DEADLINE: APRIL 15, 2011

If you have questions, please contact Chris Linville, Public Service Committee Chair, via email at clinville@aaflincoln.org to get all the details.
