We’re proud to announce the winning design in the Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 Art Contest!
The caliber of artwork this year was amazing, and we know that it was very hard for people to choose their favourite. But after much difficult deliberation, the people have voted.
Amanda from Equality Now has requested your shiny photos from the 2008 CSTS events. She’s aiming to use as many of them as she can on a page in Equality Now‘s Yearly Report.
So look through and pick out one or two of your best photos showcasing your 2008 shindigs and festive crew. (If you’ve got any with people wearing the 2008 shirts that would be awesome too!)

Can’t Stop the Serenity (CSTS) is a unique opportunity to indulge your geeky side while doing some good! Since 2006, fans have organized screenings of Joss Whedon's Serenity to raise funds and awareness to support Equality Now in their work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Join us as we aim to misbehave for a good cause!
There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That’s me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That’s a great deal harder, and that’s Equality Now. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic human decency.
