Deadline: 30-Sep-23
UNHCR is calling on young people globally to submit a drawing that illustrates the power of including refugees.
This year, the best designs will be turned into t-shirts by the partner UNIQLO and sold to support displaced people globally!
Theme: The theme of the 2023 art contest is “Hope away from home”.
What is the reward?
- The best design will be selected as the winner, and it will be turned into t-shirts by UNHCR partner’s UNIQLO and will be sold in selected UNIQLO stores (including online stores and any other channels decided by UNIQLO and UNHCR) to support displaced people globally. The commercial terms and conditions in connection with best design creations, including but not limited to sales areas, product categories, sizes, price or release date will be decided solely by UNIQLO.
- If you are a finalist, you will receive special prizes and goodies from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. UNHCR may withdraw prizes and/or terminate merchandising of t-shirts with winning design without prior notice, irrespective of the originality of the design submitted by you, if similar design is already publicly available outside UNIQLO stores or any other channels as decided by UNIQLO and UNHCR.
Transfer of your design’s rights
- When you enter this contest, you agree to transfer the rights in your design including intellectual property right such as right to represent, reproduce, modify and adapt the designs on any media to UNHCR and you agree not to exercise any moral or intellectual rights against UNHCR and UNIQLO. UNHCR and UNIQLO will have the right to use, exploit, modify, publish or merchandise the design or any part thereof at their own discretion.
- If you win the contest, when necessary, you may be requested to sign a separate agreement to confirm assignment of all rights in the designs to UNHCR, if UNHCR or UNIQLO request it, you will be requested to sign and submit the assignment form by UNHCR or UNIQLO on specified due date. If you are a minor under the law of your country domicile, your parent or guardian will be required to sign the assignment form on your behalf. If you fail to sign and submit the assignment form, it will not disqualify the effect of transferring rights of the design from the winner or entrant to UNHCR.
