The International Compost Awareness Week 2024 Poster Contest is a globally inclusive initiative hosted by the Compost Research & Education Foundation, headquartered in Raleigh, NC in the United States of America. This competition invites creative minds aged 14 years and above from all corners of the world to participate. The central theme of this poster contest for 2024 is "COMPOST... Nature’s Climate Champion!", which serves as a powerful clarion call for artists to visually articulate the vital role of compost in addressing climate change. This vibrant competition offers individuals a unique opportunity to showcase their artistic talents while championing the cause of sustainable environmental practices.
Participants are encouraged to craft visually compelling posters that embody the essence of composting and its profound impact on our planet’s ecological well-being. These posters will play a pivotal role in promoting International Compost Awareness Week 2024, scheduled for May 5 – 11, 2024. In adherence to specific design specifications, each submission should encapsulate the contest’s core elements, including the theme, "COMPOST... Nature’s Climate Champion!", the event’s name, "International Compost Awareness Week," and its designated dates.
The winning artwork will not only secure a prize of US$500 but will also serve as a powerful educational tool on a national scale. The chosen poster will bear the Compost Research & Education Foundation’s logo and those of associated sponsors, which will be added later. The contest underscores the significance of compost in mitigating climate change by reducing methane emissions, enhancing carbon sequestration, diminishing the need for chemical fertilizers, and bolstering resilience in the face of climate-related challenges. By participating in this contest, artists can contribute their vision and creativity to a global conversation on sustainable practices that will shape our planet’s future.
