Cultural / Context information for the jury

Sadly, Pride Parade has been banned in Turkey since 2015. Rainbow flag is banned in every part of daily life and LGBTI+ community is ignored. They can ban the flag but they cannot ban the colors. Six different non-governmental organisations from different backgrounds -a great fit for the diversity emphasis of rainbow flag- came together to run an outdoor campaign. Each used their corporate color codes to convey messages supporting both their organisations and LGBTI+ community. “Oh, what a coincidence!” those billboards stood side-by-side. These six non-governmental organisations raised LGBTI+ flags all over Turkey by 'accidentally' coming together on billboards. The Rainbow Hack was the 1st to unite 6 different non-governmental organisations to raise rainbow flag during Pride Month. The campaign was organically shared by celebrities and influencers. It hit tens of news sites all around the world and became a trending topic throughout the LGBTI+ community.
