Crime Stoppers Victoria recently held a poster competition and exhibition to celebrate its new initiative Say Something.

Faced with a lack of young people reporting youth violence, the new initiative aims to get young people speaking out and reporting crimes. Emerging designers were asked to respond in poster form to the campaign theme of ‘Say Something’. The overall prize went to Clark Spendelow. Spendelow explained the rationale behind his poster: “In a game of hangman, letters and words play a huge role whilst trying to save a person’s life and the only way to win it is for something to be said. Say Something!”

Entries were be judged by Fiona Sweet (Sweet Creative), Henry Fuller (Sweet Creative) Brendan McKnight (editor, desktop magazine) and Jenny Valentish (editor, Time Out Melbourne).
