NMI's Second Contest Started.. A "Censorship Theme"




Its supposed that The Internet has evolved to become an increasingly important platform for advocates who wish to express their opinion freely and to work toward the development of democracy.
It's a medium that provided opportunities for everyone to participate, discuss and debate issues that concern them. Unlike other media where the information flow is unidirectional - from the government to the masses - the Internet allowed a multi-way communication process giving the chance for anybody to air their opinions and views on issues affecting them.

But now, things didn't seem to go that smoothly.. as, websites turned to enjoy the so called "Internet Censorship", according to their own rules, opinions, and decisions.

In this contest, We're asking for artworks works with "Censorship" theme...Artworks that expresses our refusal to these actions.. asks for a complete freedom of expression within our profiles, blogs and websites.
the Logo featured could be found @ [link]

:spotlight-left:This Contest is dedicated to `BenHeine:spotlight-right:

So if you like Bens work, then please spread the word!

If you feel strongly about internet censorship, then please spread the word!
