2024 Climate Creatives Challenge

The 2024 Climate Creatives Challenge is a global initiative serving as a catalyst forinnovation in climate communication. This includes a biannual international design competition, supporting new and novel approaches for communicating the impacts of climate change and the benefits of mitigation, adaptation and resilience.

The judges were looking for entrants to;

• Explore ways for communicating the topic that go beyond the traditional bounds / formats in which it’s typically represented.

• Share ‘place’ based narratives that link to / showcase contextual stories and experiences.

• Consider how your entry to the challenge could connect with people and/or organizations that aren’t necessarily aware or engaged with this topic.

• Not just focus on the hazard, but also show actions that can be taken for adaptation and to change the consequences endured.

Please note that to keep the scope of the challenge broad (as it’s a problem that needs to be addressed from many perspectives and with different stakeholders) Climate Creatives Challenge have left it open to entrants to define the particular ‘audience’ their work is addressing (the general public, policy makers etc.). During the submission process there is a place for text to be added to describe the piece being submitted. Climate Creatives Challenge would recommend that at that stage that you give some context as to the audience your entry is aimed towards.

The judges reviewed entries with consideration of;

• The strength of the concept itself (in answering the question that has been posed)
• The clarity and creativity by which the idea is communicated / represented
