EARTH TO ARTISTS: 👋❤️ Today, in collaboration with TED and TED Countdown, we are launching Artists For Climate – an open call for digital illustrations, graphic design, lettering art and typography, focused on climate change.

Together, we are building a unique collection of open-license art that inspires climate action. We are looking for awe-inspiring illustrations that depict a hopeful future around climate change. 

The top 50 illustrations, selected by our jury, will:

  • Receive a $500 USD licensing fee

  • Be featured on a global stage at the 2021 TED Countdown Summit in Edinburgh, and various TED conferences

  • Gain exposure on TED and TED Countdown digital platforms, including social media channels, newsletters and blog pages

  • Contribute to the broader goal of spreading awareness about climate action through your work by becoming part of this visual library, and by allowing TED, TED Countdown and Fine Acts to use your artwork to shape the climate conversation

  • Be included on TheGreats.co, our free vault with carefully curated open socially engaged visual content intended to elevate art to help bring about social change.

In addition to new work, you may submit existing works that are not subject to exclusive rights and can be licensed based on our criteria. 

The 50 selected works will be published online under a Creative Commons license and available for non-commercial use. This collection of open-license art will serve as an invaluable resource and tool for activists, grassroots organizations and nonprofits to use in their campaigns about climate change awareness.

Visit artistsforclimate.org to learn more about the open call and how to submit your work. Submit by August 1 ❤️🌎
