EARTHDAY.ORG’s Your Art, Our Earth poster competition for Earth Day 2024 is underway and open to student submissions until January 22, 2024!
On April 22nd, 1970, the very first Earth Day saw 20 million people take to the streets to advocate for environmental protection. Since then, EARTHDAY.ORG has stood as a champion for the planet. Each year, a billion people worldwide engage in various Earth Day activities, including participating in cleanups, signing petitions, and supporting our initiatives. Throughout the history of Earth Day, we’ve harnessed the power of impactful art to emphasize the urgent need to care for our planet and advocate for the environment.
In 2024, our theme is Planet vs. Plastics, aiming to spotlight the detrimental effects of plastics on our environment, both in our oceans and on land. Additionally, microplastics are posing a threat to our health. They have even invaded the fashion industry and the clothes we wear — which is why we launched our Fashion for the Earth campaign.
EARTHDAY.ORG is calling for a 60% reduction in global plastic production by 2040. We invite YOU to contribute by creating an iconic poster vividly illustrating the urgent need to say NO to plastics!
