This summer on June 26 family, colleagues, and supporters will be celebrating Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s birthday. It’s an especially important milestone this year, in that he will be turning 50 while also approaching the 10th anniversary of his controversial arrest in 2003.

To commemorate this important day, thousands of people from around the world will be sending their birthday wishes to Mikhail automatically from our brand new Action Center – hopefully printed on a birthday card designed by you!

The deadline for submissions is May 12, 2013. There is no limit on the number of entries per participant.  The winning design will be announced on May 15, 2013.
