2. Create an advertisement campaign that promotes the idea and sale of Conflict Free
Diamonds as outlined in the Kimberley Process. Your advertisement may either be a
print ad (for magazines, newspapers or bill-boards), a filmed ad (for TV), or a voice ad
(for radio). No matter what medium you choose for your advert, please ensure your ideas
are well thought out and well presented in a creative, school appropriate manner. Once

advertisement)
