Cultural / Context information for the jury

Norway is world leading when it comes to melanoma (skin cancer) - and almost 90% of the cases are connected to UV radiation. Due to the amount of cold and dark winter months, Norwegians tend to rush out into the sun as soon as it appears – and we stay in the sun until it disappears again. Because the sun is “weaker” than in warmer countries, we don’t think to take the proper sun protection precautions. To remind Norwegian women about the importance of protecting their skin, we needed to reach them when they needed the reminder the most - in the sun. KK, Norway's biggest women's magazine, teamed up with Cancer Society and created a special summer edition: The Cancer Cover. The magazine where the cover model develops skin cancer when it lies unprotected in the sun. The cover was supported by an ad on page 2 and 3.

Explain how the work innovatively used the print / publishing medium.

KK, Norway's biggest women's magazine, we replaced their July edition with a special sun edition. By printing the cover with a special UV sensitive ink, the cover model develops skin cancer when left unprotected in the sun. As soon as the sun hits the mole on the model's arm, it starts to grow and change shape - turning into malignent melanoma. We masked the message as an article headline, reading «Why it’s important to protect yourself in the sun”. The message got a whole new meaning when the mole changed in the sun, and an arrow appeared as an direct link between the message and the mole. When opening the magazine, the readers were immediately exposed to an ad giving more information about the dangers of melanoma and how it easily can be prevented.
