Last year BBH, one of the leading advertising agencies in the world, partnered with Talenthouse to develop an advertising campaign around ila DUSK, a new personal safety alarm for women. The campaign aims to get a personal alarm into the hands of every woman of any age who has ever felt vulnerable when out and about at night, running in the early hours of the morning, alone in a hotel room or even walking a dog.

It is now time for the Talenthouse community to vote for their favorite ila DUSK design, video, and photograph.

Check out all submissions from the three Creative Invites:

1. Design new covers for the ila DUSK personal alarm
2. Create a viral film for BBH and ila DUSK
3. Have your photographs used in magazines and ad campaigns

Thank you for the great submissions and good luck to everybody who participated!

Voting will close on Wednesday, Jan 27th, at 3 pm PST, so hurry up and cast your vote.
