Between 14-30 years as of 31st October 2024.

It has always been our goal to amplify diverse voices and different perspectives, and we undoubtedly agree that climate change is felt by everyone, irrespective of their age. People of all generations have valuable insights to offer in this ongoing global conversation.
 
The decision to set the age limit between 14 and 30 years of age was not meant to exclude older creatives, but rather to specifically provide a platform for students and young, aspiring artists, much like other student-focused competitions.
 
We aim to increase awareness and engagement from the younger demographic, as they will inherit the long-term consequences of our collective actions today.

Applicants can apply with any medium, including, but not limited to, photography projects, docu-style and experimental film, performance art, spoken word, musical compositions, fashion design, new media, and social media projects.
