ZURB Launches Competition to Benefit One Design-Challenged Non-Profit

clock_logo_zurb.pngAre you involved in a non-profit in the Bay Area that could use a spruced up website? Given that a lot of these organizations are run by volunteers and have to be very careful about how they spent their money, it doesn't come as a surprise that web design isn't always a priority for a lot of non-profits. Web design firm ZURB, which has done design work for companies like Facebook, Yahoo, eBay and the New York Stock Exchange, is giving away a full redesign (or a completely new design) to a deserving Bay Area non-profit.

How To Apply



While ZURB is announcing this competition today, submissions won't officially open until March 4th - though the company told us that they would be more than happy to look at early submissions, too. Non-profits will be able to submit their proposals until March 18th and the actual redesign will happen during a 24-hour design marathon on April 8th. The only requirement for applying is that the non-profit has enough passionate volunteers and employees who are willing to help out on April 8th.

Email wired@zurb.com with the following info:




  • The project you need design help with


  • Details about the team that's going to be at ZURB's office for 24 hours on April 8th


  • Why your organization is a fit for ZURBwired



Previous winners include the Pie Ranch and Second Harvest Food Bank.



The company is also looking for additional volunteers to help out during the 24-hour marathon session. You can find additional videos from last year's event here.
