We're excited to announce that we received a record amount of submissions – a total of 2222 works by 1432 artists, submitted through our website form, and on Instagram! Thank you to all the talented artists who took part in our open call Artists For Climate, launched together with TED and Countdown – for digital illustrations, graphic design, lettering art and typography on climate change, with a focus on hope and solutions.
This has been a truly global call. Visual artists from over 95 countries joined Artists For Climate – from Burundi to the United Kingdom and Brazil to India. This amazing diversity is reflected in the artworks themselves – showcasing different cultures, diverse ways climate change is affecting us, and a multitude of ways we can act.
In August the jury will convene to review the submitted artworks. We will choose the 50 honorees, as well as the finalists whose works are selected to be included in the Climate collection on TheGreats.co. We’ll announce the results in September across all our channels, so stay tuned for updates: https://artistsforclimate.org/.
