About the contest

What does climate change look like to you? How is our changing climate reflected in art? How does it influence the mediums you work with or create? How is it affecting the world around you? What observations have you made from working with changing mediums?

We are looking for creative pieces at the nexus of art and science- as art not only communicates climate science, but acts as a vital way of observing and documenting our changing climate.

Showcase your work as a part of the third-annual Global Climate Action Symposium. College students may submit a photo, scan in artwork (painting, drawing, collage, etc.), send mp3 files of music, share video files, take a picture of a three-dimensional piece, or create a 3D digital rendering.

Submissions are free. Only one submission per contestant. High resolution files must be submitted with a caption of 150 words or fewer. Captions should be in English and may include foreign language captions as well.

Prizes will be awarded in the following grade level categories: Undergraduate and Graduate college student.

Students who place first in each grade level category will receive a prize, and will be announced at an award ceremony. All submissions will be featured on the Global Climate Action Symposium webpage.
