The concept of the "Greenpeace Design Awards" was originally developed by Gjoko Muratovski and Jasha Bowe in conjunction with Greenpeace Australia Pacific, together with Greenpeace International, School of Art, Architecture and Design (University of South Australia), UniLife Inc, and the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery.
The international poster design competition was launched on 1 March 2009, and within months attracted the participation of over 1500 creatives from 77 countries. The Awards are an extension of the Greenpeace ‘brand’ and they have established a new link between Greenpeace and the global creative community. The Awards had an international judging panel that consisted of wide range of industry professionals and academics.
The iconic "Ape Guevara" poster for the "Greenpeace Design Awards" was an innovation, currently making a global comeback in this time of global turmoil, developed by the Greenpeace Design Awards Directors - Gjoko Muratovski and Jasha Bowe.
About the Awards
The Greenpeace Design Awards were established in Australia in November 2008, in recognition of the role visual communication has played in Greenpeace's non-violent direct action.
The awards "acknowledge the achievements of the most innovative and creative individuals whose work best reflects environmental concerns in a visually striking and iconic way". The theme of the competition was "Be a part of the action".
Entrants to the awards had the opportunity for their work to be considered for use in major Greenpeace Australia Pacific campaigns in a variety of media including campaign posters, T-shirts, banners, flyers or other media.
The judging panel for the awards was made up of creative professionals working in the fields of graphic design, illustration, photography and visual communication. Oscar Soria and other Greenpeace representatives were also on the judging panel.
Award categories
Award categories were divided into Shortlisted, Highly Commended and Winners.

Startisan, formerly known as Streamline, is an American rock band originally from Rochester, New York. They have released two independent EPs. The band consists of Mike Hogan, Jon Scholl, Andrew Gaultier, Chris Jones, and Buck Langston. Brian Ireland, John Viavattine, Derek DeBlieux, and Brad Ourso are former members. After a stint in Los Angeles, California, Startisan now officially operates from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Startisan has played with bands including Switchfoot, Daughtry, Theory Of A Deadman, Seether, and Gavin DeGraw.
History
Streamline began in Rochester in 2003 with vocalist/guitarist Mike Hogan and keyboardist Jon Scholl. The two were later joined by bassist John Viavattine and the group eventually moved to Los Angeles.
It was in Los Angeles that Streamline met veteran drummer Brian Ireland of Something Corporate. Ireland was arriving at the studio for the first day of recording drum tracks for former Something Corporate guitarist William Tell's 2007 debut album, You Can Hold Me Down, when he ran into Hogan and Scholl, who were leaving the same studio. In a 2008 interview, Ireland said, "They knew who I was. Later they phoned me at the studio and asked if I would sit in and do a drumming session ... It was for 'All I Need.' I was so impressed with them. They are great players and have a real sensibility for music." Ireland recorded the track with the group and in December 2006, it was announced that he would be joining the band's official line-up.
Meanwhile, guitarist Brad Ourso moved from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles. Ourso joined a pop-rock band called On The Surface, which features Ireland's then-girlfriend Heather Fogarty as vocalist. Through this connection, Ourso met Hogan and the two hit it off. In 2007, Ourso left On The Surface to join Streamline. "He left their band maybe two weeks after I broke up with her," Ireland said. "He came over and jammed with us one day, which was supposed to be an innocent jam session, and it ended up in him calling my ex-girlfriend to tell her he was leaving the band."
Streamline's self-titled EP was named Best EP of 2007 by The Album Project and featured as part of AbsolutePunk's Unsigned Showcase.
In 2008, Streamline moved their base of operations to Baton Rouge. The band has cited the desire to increase the ease of touring both the east and west coasts among the reasons for the move.
In April 2009, Streamline released their second EP, The Alchemist and the Arsonist.
In Nov. 2009, Ireland and Ourso left Streamline.
In 2010, Streamline announced that they would be playing three shows as part of the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas.
As of January 5, 2011 Streamline has changed their name to Startisan and is planning on releasing a full-length album.

The 2022 China coup was a rumoured coup that had supposedly taken place in late September 2022 in China. It was later confirmed to be false, and no coup had taken place.
Background
The rumour had begun to spread around September 22 after it was noticed that Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who is expected to be elected leader for a third term later this year, had not made any public appearances since his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Uzbekistan on September 16, with people believing that Xi had been put under house arrest by General Li Qiaoming. A noticeably high rate in flight cancellations in China was also used as evidence of the rumoured coup.
Spread and Debunking
On September 23, the rumour began to spread beyond Chinese-speaking Twitter and was picked up by some Indian media channels, like India TV, who started to cover the rumour. Twitter users then started pairing old videos from past events, claiming that it was footage from the rumoured coup and spreading misinformation in general, also using other methods.
By September 26, the rumour was confirmed to be false and proof was shown that Jinping was still in power and was not under house arrest and will still be attending the upcoming congress, where he is once again expected to be re-elected for a third term.
