Open Call for Artists

After 75 years of striving for nuclear abolition by Pax Christi International and many other movements, the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force on 22 January 2021. Our campaign is part of international momentum towards a world free of nuclear weapons. 

WHAT?

Pax Christi International is launching an Open Call for Artists, inviting young people to contribute in a creative way to our effort to finally getting rid of nuclear weapons!  

HOW?  

Creating a video or a digital artwork seeking to convince states that have not joined the treaty to do so as soon as possible. 54 countries have already officially said no to nukes, let's keep going!

WHO?  

Young people from 15 to 35 years old and from every part of the world are invited to submit and to express in a creative way why it would be important for countries to join the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.  

 CONTEST DETAILS

Participants can participate in the campaign in two different ways. By creating a video, animated graphic, or motion graphic; OR by creating a non-moving digital artwork (graphic, photography, and so on).

An international jury will look at all the submissions and will choose one winner for the two options. The winner of the first group will receive 250 Euros, the winner of the second group will receive 150 Euros. The winning contributions, together with the 10 best submissions, will be presented during an online exposition that Pax Christi International will organise in August.

Complete information about the contest and the rules can be found here. Entries are now open, deadline for all submissions is Thursday, 15 July 2021.
