Finalists announced in GFL ”Make Change” Competition | Gift for Life
by cindabaxter
The inaugural design competition required established and emerging designers to reinvent the iconic piggy bank with unique and innovative elements. While banks could be dramatically re-imagined, they had to retain their functional aspect and be a repository for money in order to be considered.
“From card stock to gold plate, the materials were as diverse as the concepts and the designers behind them,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. “The designers’ personal interpretations of the piggy bank were refreshingly unique and different.”
Competition finalists will be featured here on the GFL website over the next week and a half.
Finalists’ designs will be displayed in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center’s Crystal Palace lobby during the summer 2010 NYIGF. Two awards (a as determined by a panel of professional designers – Mark Blackwell, Sandy Chilewich and Evette Rios) will be presented. Winners of both Awards will receive one complimentary exhibition space (valued at $3,700) for the winter 2011 NYIGF.
Proceeds from the competition will benefit the charitable efforts of Gift For Life and its sole beneficiary, DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, one of the largest funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the U.S. Since its founding in 1984, DIFFA has mobilized the resources of the design communities to provide more than $38 million to hundreds of AIDS organizations nationwide.

What kind of award/gift can we give to an injured Ice Hockey Player?
Feb 26, 2009 by Regina A | Posted in Other - Sports
7 boys on the Varsity Ice Hockey Team suffered from various broken bones during the season; we are planning the year end banquet and would like to present these boys with an award (similar to the purple heart) for going down for the team. Any suggestions as to what we can give them/present to them? Would like something witty but serious too. Thanks!
Hi - I found out about this great company that turns photos into giant vinyl stickers. They are called iPixXL and they turned a photo of my son's baseball team into a giant sticker for their coach. It was an end of the year gift. Maybe you can get a photo of the team together when he was playing and have it turned into one of these. They are also removable and you can peel them off and stick them again anywhere you want. They stick to walls, windows, mirrors, cars.... http://www.ipixxl.com. Good luck!

Not sure if this is all of them, but here is a link to a news article about the baskets.
It looks like the new Bratz art style may be "the norm" very soon! I was expecting them to wait until the fall since the current style is being used for the spring lines :P Could this be why the commercials are taking so long? As of the 17th, the SP12 commercials (or at least...
