Define the creative concept for an app that will bring mindfulness to classrooms around the world

Committee for Children

Committee for Children (CfC), a self-sustaining non-profit, is the nation’s leading provider of research-based social emotional learning curricula for school children, early learning through 8th grade.

CfC’s programs are in 40 percent of U.S. schools and 70 countries worldwide.

With a 35-year history, CfC is also a leading advocate for children’s issues and with the nation’s best and brightest experts to help foster the safety and well-being of children.

New Mission Ventures is CfC’s innovation lab. Its remit is to find new ways to expand the organizational mission to positively impact children and their families.

CfC plans to leverage its reputation in the space and education sales channel, and its relationship with North America’s leading experts in mindfulness, to make a product that will be successful in terms of both impact and revenue generation.

Committee for Children’s New Mission Ventures team is seeking an Art Director/Illustrator to define the meta-narrative and artistic direction for a web and mobile application that helps school children learn how to calm themselves, be more focused and learn how to better connect with themselves and others through short, guided mindfulness activities.

To find the right designer, this contest will be for a single character design/illustration [see all details of this on the attached brief].

We put a lot of thought into developing a design brief to help our prospective partners understand and embrace our vision.
