Too much Islamophobia in our media?  Too many people attacking Islam and Muslims?

God willing, more Muslims will engage in the fields of journalism, and broadcast, helping to remove barriers and building bridges.

We have a wonderful message and a responsibility to share it with others. MuslimBridges is looking to place large ads on street Billboards, in newspapers, and on popular radio stations.

$3000 Cash and Prizes for the best designs.  We wish we can make the reward $30,000, but we are working with very limited resources.  

God willing, we plan to engage our entire community in the selection process by voting on the best ad designs.  We will also give the community access to the best 30 and 60 seconds Radio ads.  Once the votes are counted, the ads are final, everyone will have access to all the material, enabling individuals, organizations, or Islamic Centers to directly run these ads in your local areas, or sponsor ads to run in any areas.  We will use our non-profit corporate status to negotiate the maximum discount, - at times as much as 70% from the normal rate -, or we may coordinate the entire process, bottom line, we need to deliver.   

We hope our talented friends will get involved and submit "Master Pieces" of artwork.
