The themes offer a flexible foundation for artists to create art, serving as a launchpad for children and youth to explore environment through their unique experiences and perspectives.

Life on Earth

Life on Earth

Celebrate our living planet. Show the colours, shapes and patterns of forests, deserts, mountains, cities, animals and plants. Use any style to share why Earth’s everyday wonders matter.

Imagine a tree outside your window through the seasons; birds on a power line; a market full of foods from the land; a landscape after rain; a poster about caring for a local place.

Life Under Water

Life Under Water

Travel beneath the surface. Rivers, lakes, oceans and streams are home to bright corals, swaying plants and curious creatures. Share the calm, movement and mystery of underwater life.

Explore a coral “garden”; a turtle’s path; reflections on a lake; a drop of water under a microscope; or how plastic and oil change what should be clear and blue.

Beyond Humans

Beyond Humans

Humans aren’t alone. Insects, fungi, microbes, plants and animals all share this planet. Celebrate their hidden worlds and show how they live, communicate and survive beside us.

Portray the world from a bee’s eye; mushrooms threading networks underground; night-time animal visitors to a backyard; or a comic about how light and noise affect wildlife.

People and Planet Connected

People and Planet Connected

We depend on Earth, and Earth depends on us. Show the links between people, places and nature—food, water, air, culture, work and play—and our responsibility to look after them.

Create a family garden; a community clean-up; cycling to school; solar panels on a roof; sorting waste for reuse; or a scene of a damaged place healing with care.
