EcoArt Award
First Prize $5K
High Commended $2.5K
Spreading the word through EcoArt – a distinct genre that addresses politics, culture, economics, ethics and aesthetics as they impact the conditions of ecosystems.
This new Award for EcoArt is sponsored by Lois Harris – a documentary film researcher of 30 years, working nationally and internationally on material in both political and social contexts. Lois is also the Founder of Kibera Pad Co situated in Nairobi Kenya.
Donations to the Kibera Pad Co enable FREE sanitary pads to be distributed to young girls, to help them stay in school and finish their education. It also offers permanent employment to local women from Kibera Slum, who make and distribute these pads.
More than an environmental crisis – climate change is also a social crisis that compels us to address issues of inequality on many levels.
Educating girls and empowering women is one of the most high-impact and cost-effective ways for every nation on this planet to take positive action on climate change.
Social solutions to climate change, while lesser known than technical or natural solutions, are just as powerful. So while we are electrifying transport and transitioning to renewables, we need to be providing universal access to education, health care and family planning if we are to provide these incredible social benefits and protect our planet.
