Are you a web or Flash designer? Are you looking for a chance to showcase your sense of humour and environmental concern? Then join the Bush Push Flash Bash!

Many people around the world are concerned about the destructive policies of US President George W. Bush. In particular, Bush is refusing to implement the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and threatening to tear up a key nuclear disarmament treaty and proceed with a Star Wars missile defense system.

We've been making fun of Bush's plans with our Star Wars e-card. (Please send it to all your friends if you haven't yet!) We think that there are a lot more opportunities to use Flash or other web multimedia to attack the Bush agenda on climate change and militarism and yet make people smile as well.

Here are the rules of the Bush Push Flash Bash:

• The pieces must highlight the absurdity of the Bush positions on climate change and/or missile defence.
• They must appeal to a wide audience (maybe a bit edgy, but nothing obscene).
• They must use low bandwidth, widely available technologies (in practice this probably means Flash or animated gifs).
• They should be submitted to Gillo Cutrupi at gcutrupi@ams.greenpeace.org by 6 July. We will not accept executable files, so please don't send any.

You can find lots of information at our climate and Star Wars websites.

If you want to use a Greenpeace logo in your animation (and we encourage you to do so), here is a bitmap version and here is a vector (swf) version.

Once we get the entries, an elite review committee will get together over beer and pick the best ones to showcase on Greenpeace.org. We promise to give you a credit, but exposure on our site will have to be the only reward. We're spending our pennies campaigning against George Bush and his allies these days!
