Support the White Pencil

It's not just entering that's important. You can support the White Pencil by helping us spread the word or by joining in the debate at the White Pencil Symposium.

Display the White Pencil badge on your website. Grab the embed code on the right hand side of this page. You can sign-up for updates as well.

Shoot a short film of the team working on your White Pencil entry. Post it on your own site or blog, or give it to us and we’ll feature it. – let us know why you’re getting involved and discuss your experience of responding to the brief. Or like Tom Foulkes of Arup, just get your daughter to do it for you.

Of course you can post updates or tweet about your work using #whitepencil.

The White Pencil Symposium

On 27 November 2012 we will announce the winner of the first White Pencil - but it's no typical awards ceremony.

We're bringing together global thought leaders from agency, brand and beyond to provide a platform to share ideas, celebrate achievement and showcase innovation. This will set the tone of a conversation that is just getting started. A conversation we will build over the coming months, years, decades - online, offline and wherever it happens. A conversation about the power of creativity to make our world a better place.

Join in.
