DoubleClick and Revolution.
Children’s charity [Sparks](http://www.sparks.org.uk)
is benefiting from a competition between five Web design agencies to create a compelling
banner ad to raise funds online. The work of Gluemedia, Oasis Communications, Profero,
Syzygy and Tribal DDB is appearing as banner ads and interstitials on [www.confetti.co.uk,](http://www.confetti.co.uk)

[www.altavista.co.uk](http://www.altavista.co.uk) and other sites. The competition
is organised by ad network DoubleClick and Revolution.

While Sparks should do very well out of this, it is somewhat sad that, over five
years after the debut of the banner ad, the idea of a charity fundraising banner
ad is still so unusual that this kind of competition needs to take place.
