We are thrilled to announce that our open platform for free socially engaged art has been recognized in Fast Company's 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards.
TheGreats.co (previously known as TheAmmo.org) has been selected as an honorable mention in the Creativity category of the awards. We've been chosen from a pool of over 3000 global entries.

Until now, The Greats has been functioning in its early beta stage, and we are launching a fully functioning platform next month that will feature hundreds of free artworks (on topics such as women's rights, LGBT rights, freedom of expression & more). Our platform is unique as it allows not just open use, but also free noncommercial adaptation by nonprofits and activists. Stay tuned for more, by signing up for our newsletter!
This is the third time that Fine Acts has been recognized in the World Changing Ideas Awards - we were selected as Finalists in 2017 with The Future (on armed conflict, with Alicia Eggert and Safwat Saleem), and in 2019 with Project Light (on avoidable blindness, with Peek Vision).
About the awards: World Changing Ideas is one of Fast Company’s major annual awards programs and is focused on social good, seeking to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better.
