New crowd funding platform ‘Award Funder’ launches to fund no-budget ad award entries

| | 3 Comments

Award_Landing_06.jpgAward Funder is a new creative community that helps people submit smart no budget campaigns and brilliant side projects into big award shows through crowd funding.

The team at Award Funder (Erik Norin, Ben Smith, Jay Whitmore and Adam Boyette) believe this type of work should be recognized by the big award shows and the talented creatives behind it be rewarded with a short walk to the big stage.

Follow on Twitter @awardfunder for updates, news and information or go to www.awardfunder.com or click to email.

With Award Funder, entrants and friends as well as the creative community can now help make a career as well as give the supporters a cheeky boost.

Award Funder is a crowdfunding platform for advertising award entries. Everyone who helps fund a case study will get on the credits as an executive producer.

Creatives submit a case study at Award Funder, choose one of the big shows and pick a category. The submitted work is then featured on the Award Funder website. If people like the case study, they back it financially. When enough money is raised to cover the entry fee, Award Funder will handle the administration of entry and then it’s in the hands of the jury.

 

If the work wins, it’s good for creative and the people who helped fund the entry.

 

AwardFunder is in ‘soft launch’ now and they will be accepting case studies very soon after they launch the full site.
