Cultural/Context information for the jury
The Norwegian Cancer Society is dependent on permanent donors in order to continue their important work. So, each December they have an annual Christmas campaign where they sell Christmas stars to raise money for cancer research. But in December there are so many charitable organizations fighting for donations, that recruitment of permanent donors is difficult.
Whilst people can choose from concrete and easily understandable products from other charities, such as «donate a goat to a village» and «give a warm coat to a cold child», we had to sell Christmas stars against cancer. In order to shine through, we had to concretize the connection between the product (a Christmas star) and the result (money for cancer research), and make the Christmas star an easier choice of donation.
