Sticker Design Competition for OVS/JF Team Agriculture as a Business! Deadline: JUNE 15

This is a myEWB post from my coach that I thought I'd re-post here to get more attention:

Hello there folks - I hope everyone is enjoying their Canadian summers! So, now that you've all got some spare time on your hands, how about spending it helping out your favourite OVS and JFs in Northern Ghana?

The Ghana Ministry of Food and Agriculture team has expanded, and has a new and exciting focus: Agriculture as a Business. Helping farmers make the shift from being treated like (and feeling like) the VICTIMS of the agricultural sector, to acting as PLAYERS in the marketplace, capable of holding their own, and of making enough money to cover all those pesky little costs like school fees and medical bills.

We are in the midst of developing innovative curriculum and tools for Agricultural Extension Agents (AEAs) to use in helping farmer groups realize their potential, but you know, all this innovation and effort can get a little tiring for a hard-working AEA. Sometimes they might need a little perk, a little show of appreciation to keep those motivation levels up.

Which is where you come in!

Agriculture as a Business needs a logo - needs a design that we can make into stickers for plastering on motorbikes, and that we can make into business cards for AEAs to proudly distribute.

We need YOU to design the stickers and business cards.

Make no mistake: This Is A Competition. Designs will be judged by MoFA staff and EWB OVS and JFs on June 16.
Best design wins, and gets plastered all over Northern Ghana!

Guidelines:

• Design should be simple, clear, and ideally not more than 3 colours, too complicated, or too many colours, as it might not print well, or be understood clearly.



• Stickers can be any shape & size (although ¼ of an 8.5x11 paper is suggested)



• Business card should be the size of a business card, and should include space for the following details:
  Victoria Anamo
  Agricultural Extension Agent
  Ghana Ministry of Food and Agriculture
  Tel: 0248115101
  P.O. Box 3, Bolgatanga
  Upper East Region, Ghana

Suggestions:

• Please refer to the attached MoFA logo, and feel free to include it in your design, or draw inspiration from it.



• Refer to Sarah Grant's business card, shown here, for further inspiration, although this design may be a bit too complicated.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: JUNE 15, 2008
Late submissions cannot be accepted!

Please post all designs as replies to this post. OR email me.
Any questions, just post them here, or email me!

THANK YOU on behalf of Team Agriculture as a Business!

Catch y'all on the flip side!

FYI: Agriculture as a Business Vision Statement: Farmers' incomes are increased on a sustainable basis through agriculture as a business program that strengthens farmers' capacity and creates an environment that enables farmers to take a business approach to farming.

Here's an entry, but we need AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS (not necessarliy in caps) clearly displayed on the stickers and business cards:
