Submissions are invited for Poster Making Competition on Beat the Heat by National Disaster Management Authority. The last date of submission is May 22, 2024.
Posters as a type of visual art have become an important tool for advertising and promoting a plethora of causes. It is in fact a scientifically proven fact that posters have the potential to effectively expand knowledge, change attitudes and alter behaviors. When the world has witnessed over 10,000 disasters in the last three decades alone, leaving a trail of destruction that affected a staggering six billion people. The severity and frequency of these events are on the rise and their consequences are increasingly affecting new areas to a magnitude not witnessed before.
In recent times, there has been a noticeable rise in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves throughout the nation. Even in states that were previously thought to be particularly unlikely, heat wave incidents have been reported, it would be a relevant measure to utilize the creative thinking and aesthetic skills of young artists across the nation, especially in propagating the message of heat wave safety to the masses.
In light of this, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in collaboration with MyGov like to offer a warm welcome to all the budding artists/students to participate in this Poster-Making competition and use your creative minds to create art that inspires. So, pick up your Canvas, art supplies, turn on your graphic tablets and create breathtaking posters on the theme!
They welcome entries in the form of hand-drawn sketches, paintings and digital submissions, with any medium, and illustrations. The theme for this contest is “Beat the Heat/ गर्मी को मात दें”.
Entry into the Contest is open to Indian citizens of all ages.
Interested participants can submit online via this link.
The last date of submission is May 22, 2024.
