The Art Competition for the 2024 Calendar of the EU PRO Plus Programme "Creating a Greener Future" is open
EU PRO Plus Programme has today published an award-winning art competition for high school pupils from 99 cities and municipalities[1] in the regions of Šumadija and Western Serbia and Southern and Eastern Serbia on the theme "Creating a Greener Future". With this competition, the Delegation of the European Union in cooperation with the Ministry of European Integration continues a more than decade-long tradition of rewarding talented students and encouraging them to be active members of their communities.
This year's theme should encourage young people to channel their creativity towards shaping a greener future for all. Through artistic expression, they should present their skills and future occupations in circular economy by showing in their works which of their own activities and innovative solutions can contribute to a sustainable future and circularity in their communities. Therefore, we want to remind the young people that they are those who bring positive changes in the future while encouraging them to present activities that will contribute to reducing waste, recycling, reusing old things and overall changing our habits in order to protect the environment and achieve sustainability.
The high school pupils, as well as the general public, will be able to vote online, through the EU PRO Plus programme website, and thus choose 12 works from a narrow selection of the 20 best works, previously selected by the internal jury. Online voting opens after the contest closes and lasts for five days. The audience's voice will be the fifth member of the jury who will choose the 12 best works that will be on the pages of the EU PRO Plus programme Calendar for 2024.
The authors of the 12 winning works will receive valuable prizes, laptops and tablet computers and mobile phones, while the school that proves to be the most engaged in organisation of the internal school contest, during which the works for participation in the competition will be selected, will be awarded a laptop and a projector.
The Competition is open by 17 November 2023, and all information and Competition propositions are available on the website 2024 EU PRO Plus Calendar Art Competition.
