AMS Sustainability, the SEEDS Sustainability Program, and the University Sustainability Initiative have partnered to bring you a Climate Art Competition!

Winning art submissions will receive a $500 honorarium, as well as have their design fully funded and installed in the AMS Nest and CIRS Buildings!

HOW IT WORKS:
Use your imagination to design an art piece that engages the UBC Community on issues of climate change and climate justice. The piece should capture the attention of the general public at UBC and communicate a message related to climate change and/or climate justice, with the aim of inspiring further involvement in climate action. The piece should attempt to get people to think about climate change in a different way or through a different lens.

The two winners will be selected through a weighted process of both public voting and a community panel made up of students, faculty and staff. You will have a chance to work with architects and faculty members to ensure feasibility as well as the installation of the piece.
