The Global RCE Service Centre at the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), in partnership with UNESCO, is now accepting submissions for the RCE Youth Art Challenge: From Waste to Art. The challenge is open to anyone aged 35 or younger worldwide.
This is an opportunity to create artwork to inspire others around the world to use resources more efficiently, reduce waste, and ultimately shift to sustainable consumption and production.

Any art medium can be utilised – some ideas are paintings, drawings, photos, sketches, digital art, sculptures, handicrafts, murals – the list is endless! As for materials, we’d love to see your creativity, such as using locally sourced waste (e.g. e-waste, plastic, paper, etc).
All submissions should be static (no animations) and limited to one frame/image of the artwork. In addition to the artwork, you will be asked to include a title and short statement (maximum 100 words) to explain your submission.
