Deadline: 28-Feb-23
Are you an artist between the ages 14-22 who wants to inspire Social Change? Does your perspective shine a light on our climate crisis in new ways? If yes, then you are eligible to apply for the Tidal Shift Award.
The Tidal Shift Award aims to leverage the power of socially-aware artworks, awarding and plat forming teenagers and young adults who are focused on solutions for climate change. Art’s ability to inspire social change can be harnessed to fight climate change.
They are currently accepting submissions of artworks that relate to the climate crisis through theme, subject matter, solutions, and more. Together, they can showcase the artworks that can influence, motivate, and galvanize their communities to do more to address their environment.
The Tidal Shift Award is a juried competition comprised of leaders in the field of science, advocacy, academia, and the arts, who believe they need new ways to address a crisis that is otherwise too easily ignored.
