In case you haven’t heard, the TED2011 event has been taking place this week and today, the organizers announced the winners of their “Ads Worth Spreading” contest, an open challenge to the global ad community to show audiences what ads can mean and say in the digital age.

After poring over 1,000+ submissions from around the world, ten winners were chosen by a panel of 24 judges ranging from creative chiefs to filmmakers to journalists.  One that made the cut, W+K’s “Girl Effect – Clock is Ticking” spot for the Nike Foundation, can be seen above.
