To celebrate Climate Month, the BU Sustainability Team are running an art competition for all students and staff. Whether you’ve been arty your whole life or have just picked up a paintbrush or camera for the first time, they’d love to see what you’ve created – and there are prizes for the best submissions!
The theme is “Inspired by Nature”. Photos, paintings, pictures, videos, even soundscapes or pictures of crafts that you’ve created are all welcome. Have you been inspired by something you’ve spotted on your daily walks or in a news article? Maybe you have been inspired by the colours, shapes and sounds in the wild, or have something to share about how humans interact with nature? Whatever it is, if it’s nature-related, they want to see it.
There are two streams of the competition, one for students and staff and one for your family, so if you have children who would like to take a break from home schooling or a weekend activity, they can also create and compete.
Please submit all entries and questions to [email protected]. The competition will close on Friday 30 April with winners notified in May 2021.
