The RCE Youth Art Challenge: From Waste to Art is accepting applications

The Global RCE Service Centre at the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), in partnership with UNESCO invites artists from all over the world under the age of 35 to submit their original works for the art competition - The RCE Youth Art Challenge: From Waste to Art. The aim of this challenge is to demonstrate how local communities are working to achieve sustainable consumption and production. Any form of art, such as: paintings, drawings, photographs, sketches, digital art, sculptures, handicrafts, murals, and more, are accepted. Submissions that incorporate waste from the local area (such as paper, plastic, and e-waste) are especially welcomed. The jury will select the best artworks, which will be presented in The Global RCE Service Centre, in Japan.

Global RCE network was established in 2012. The organisation supports international eco-artists and researchers. An RCE is a network of existing formal, non-formal and informal organisations that facilitate learning towards sustainable development in local and regional communities. The Global Learning Space for Sustainable Development is a global network of RCEs.
