CALL FOR MULTIMEDIA PROPOSALS: Regenerative Climate Storytelling 2075
Submit your proposal here.
We invite passionate creators to submit their multimedia proposals for our anthology series, dedicated to exploring the complexities of climate change and the potential for transformative action through an optimistic lens.
This call for proposals is open to young people from frontline, BIPOC, queer, and other communities who experience the undue burdens of climate change while simultaneously demonstrating the innovation and resilience required to build new realities. Centering the experiences, knowledge, and alternative ways of knowing from these communities is crucial in shaping our collective understanding of climate futures. By amplifying the voices of frontline, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA* communities, we aim to build a more inclusive and equitable vision of the future.
We welcome submissions of pieces that have been previously developed for programs, classes, or other creative endeavors. However, please note that submitted works should not have been published publicly elsewhere. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
We seek to create an inclusive and interdisciplinary community, and therefore, participation from individuals with diverse backgrounds, from scientists to artists, is highly encouraged.
