United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), in partnership with UNESCO, is calling for submissions from young eco-artists for their RCE* Youth Biodiversity Art Challenge.
The worldwide challenge is open to anyone aged 35 or younger, and submissions should consist of creative works of art with a focus on SDG 14 (life below water) or SDG 15 (life on land).
The organisers are looking for creative works that put a spotlight on environmental issues and the species, habitats and ecosystems that need to be protected.
