  • An international eco-art contest to allow you to creatively express your ideas about climate change and sustainability.
  • A global 40-day challenge designed to help you green your habits and encourage others to do the same!
  • A climate change curriculum and accompanying online classroom to support learning about this important issue.

Imprints Art Contest

TODO: I'm guessing this is a temporary placeholder of an image--when we get the real one we should write new alternate text that describes it

If you could visualise your ecological footprint, what would it look like? What do we need to do in order to ensure a greener future? How does your footprint compare to people on the other side of the planet? Share your perspective in a creative way through the Imprints Art Contest.
