Design 21 Social Design Network has just announced a call for entries for a logo design that represents "Stories from the Field: The United Nations Documentary Film Festival." The festival showcases documentary films, created by UN or UN-affiliated agencies, that are based on one or more points stated in the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
By 2015 all 189 United Nations Member States have pledged to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality and empower women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, [and] develop a global partnership for development....The organization is looking for a logo that represents the festival, rather than the organizations that present it.
The logo would be used on the festival's calls for entries, programs, posters, flyers, stationery, collateral materials and the website. It would also be used to brand the various satellite festivals that are in formation.

Comments
How very disappointing:
"It is with much regret that we announce that we are unable to award a winner in our "Stories from the Field: The United Nations Documentary Film Festival" logo competition." Design21 Competition Results.
You should probably be made aware of the fall-out from this project and take it into account when promoting "competitions" by Design21 in the future.
