Unlike many contests that only exhibit winners, all participants can display their work through DGDG Museum digital frames at POSCO E&C The Sharp Gallery.
Exhibition Theme
Earth is facing an unprecedented crisis. Climate change, polluted water and oceans, damaged forests and ecosystems, and cities turning increasingly gray.
We believe in the transformative power of art. One drawing can move hearts and inspire action more deeply than many words.
Choose one of four topics that threaten planetary health and share the message you want to communicate. Your artwork can be a warning, or a hopeful vision of restoration.
Climate Change
Stories about global warming, extreme weather, and carbon emissions
Water and Ocean
Stories about marine pollution, water protection, and ocean ecosystem care
Forest and Ecosystem
Stories about biodiversity, habitat protection, and restoration
City and Human Life
Stories about sustainable cities and coexistence between people and nature
