The Climate Creatives Challenge (Challenge 04: Coastal Change 2024)

Entry is open now for The Climate Creatives Challenge – Challenge #04:’Coastal Change’ 2024!

The Climate Creatives Challenge is a global initiative serving as a catalyst for innovation in climate communication. This includes a biannual international design competition, supporting new and novel approaches for communicating the impacts of climate change and the benefits of mitigation, adaptation and resilience.

The theme for Challenge #04 is “COASTAL CHANGE” For challenge #04 Climate Creatives Challenge is asking: ‘How can we communicate the impacts of climate change on coastal zones and the benefits of adaptation and resilience?’

To encourage different types of creative communication, we accept a broad range of types of entry submission, including;

Illustrations
Photos
Video
Audio
Poetry/Prose
Sculpture
The judges were looking for entrants to;

Explore ways for communicating the topic that go beyond the traditional bounds / formats in which it’s typically represented.

Share ‘place’ based narratives that link to / showcase contextual stories and experiences.

Consider how your entry to the challenge could connect with people and/or organisations that aren’t necessarily aware or engaged with this topic.

Not just focus on the hazard, but also show actions that can be taken for adaptation and to change the consequences endured.

Please note that to keep the scope of the challenge broad (as it’s a problem that needs to be addressed from many perspectives and with different stakeholders) Climate Creatives Challenge have left it open to entrants to define the particular ‘audience’ their work is addressing (the general public, policy makers etc.). During the submission process there is a place for text to be added to describe the piece being submitted. Climate Creatives Challenge would recommend that at that stage that you give some context as to the audience your entry is aimed towards.

The judges reviewed entries with consideration of;

The strength of the concept itself (in answering the question that has been posed)
The clarity and creativity by which the idea is communicated / represented
Results will be announced on the 2nd February 2024.
