1300 382 777Australian Not-For-Profit Technology Awards 2018 Finalists
The Australian NFP Technology Awards highlight the most technologically innovative organisations and individuals in the Australian non-profit sector. This year’s awards will be held in the Hilton Hotel in Brisbane’s CBD, on Thursday 3 May.
The finalists for this year’s awards have been announced… and the Best Social Media Campaign finalists have definitely caught our eye!
# Best Social Media Campaign of the Year
The three finalists for the best social media campaign are Odd Socks Day by Grow, Nine for November by the National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, and MAF Australia Fuel for Father’s Day by Candence media. We were especially enthused by the campaigns for Fuel for Fathers Day and Odd Socks Day, so we believe they deserve a little extra spotlight.
The MAF Australia Fuel for Fathers Day campaign, by Candence Media
MAF Australia (Mission Aviation Fellowship) is an organisation bringing help, hope and healing to some of the most isolated communities in the world, and does so via – yes you’ve guessed it – aircraft. The Fuel for Fathers Day campaign provided people with the incentive to donate fuel for their Fathers day present, and help the community.
The Odd Socks Day campaign, by Grow
Grow is a nationwide support community for mental wellness programs. Their annual Odd Sock Day is meant to create awareness for mental health – and show that every once in a while, everyone has one of those ‘odd days’.
