We’re currently in the process of locking in advertisements for the September launch of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, and we’re interested in your ideas! If you have graphic design chops, and would like to try your hand at creating promotional material for If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, we’ll be accepting submissions in a design competition ending on August 10, 2025.
We’ll be giving out up to four $1000 prizes:
- One for any asset we end up using on a billboard in San Francisco (landscape, ~2:1, details below)
- One for any asset we end up using in the subways of either DC or NY or both (~square, details below)
- One for any additional wildcard thing that ends up being useful (e.g. a t-shirt design, a book trailer, etc.; we’re being deliberately vague here so as not to anchor people too hard on any one thing)
We’re also willing (but not promising) to give out a number of $200 prizes for things which end up being useful but not for the above.
(To be clear: the market value of a solid graphic that helps us move copies of the book is way in excess of a thousand dollars; the prize money is a thank-you for people who are donating their effort and expertise to help increase the odds of this critical message making it into the mainstream in time for humanity to save itself.)
To submit: email your entry (or a link to it) to design@intelligence.org by 11:59PM on August 10, 2025. Our judges will announce any winners by August 17, 2025. Submissions do not need to be private; you’ll retain ownership of your work and can post it elsewhere as feels good to you.
