When we launched our Cosmo Fights Campus Rape campaign earlier this year, our goal was to end the epidemic of sexual violence at colleges and to encourage schools to update their sexual assault policy requirements. As part of this campaign, we teamed up with RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network), the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the country, to hold the RAINN Day/Cosmo Magazine Multimedia Contest 2011. The idea was for students to boost awareness of sexual violence and RAINN through events such as benefit concerts, art projects, or roundtable discussions. The winner, which was announced this week, is San Jose State University’s flash mob… (from RAINN Day Cosmo Contest Winner 2011)
