The United Nations Environment Programme, UNESCO and Samsung Engineering are teaming up to start a visual conversation in Asia and the Pacific around sustainable development – to engage young people in sustainable actions that results in positive environmental benefits in their local communities through art. To begin with, a digital poster-making competition that captures environmental issues and/or encourages sustainable action in areas such as energy, waste and water, has been envisioned. The purpose of the contest is to engage youth to share their story of how, in their own capacity, to address environmental issues in their communities or countries.

The theme of the Digital Poster-making competition is: Sustainable action in areas such as energy, waste and water. There are two sub-themes: 1) Inertia: A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged (the problem) and 2) UNertia: A tendency to act upon existing awareness (the solution). The two sub-themes may be combined. The competition invites captivating, inspiring and effective posters that speak to youth and the general public.
