Chance for a Chance

Recently, HQ has been contacted by Şansă pentru Şansă – meaning “The chance for a chance” - a non-governmental organization in Romania that strives to support those, and the families of those, who are fighting cancer. They are asking our community to help them design a logo for a new elementary school in Bucharest, Romania for children diagnosed with leukemia and cancer, the first of its kind in Romania.
deviantART invites you to enter this logo contest, named the Dreams of Snowdrops Contest, to help out this organization and school.
