Solarpunk Art Contest

Welcome to this exercise in collective visioning and creation. A new version of the future is being born, and your participation is kindly requested.

We are retelling the story of humanity. A new way forward built on ancient wisdom and the most beautiful values of humankind. We are reimagining a world where clean air, water, and food are available to all. A world free of pollution and global stressors caused by climate-related disruptions and ecological imbalance. A world where nature is our guide and we honor it and respect it.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a visual representation of a person, group, entire family, or family member engaged in an action to build a more sustainable and regenerative future.

The contest is open to all children, young people, and adults. If you care about the future of our planet and all living forms, you are invited to participate.

The format can be any visual medium: digital, ink, paint, 3D, Canva, photography, AI generated, etc; get creative!
