Share Your Vision, Address Climate Change in the CoolClimate Art Contest!

The world’s largest online community of artists, deviantART, is running an amazing contest that brings together creative spark and real vision. The CoolClimate Art Contest ends on Aug. 23, and we thought it would be right up some of our more artistic AlterNet readers’ alley.

From the guidelines:

We are searching for the brightest and most creative visions that will challenge and engage people around the issue of climate change. The Earth is our home. What is your vision for its future? What will happen if nothing is done to stop events like oil spills, deforestation, and global warming? What are the solutions that will make a clean energy future possible? (…)

The contest seeks to generate iconic images that address the impact of climate change and spurs participation in the climate change debate. Create a work that encompasses the questions above and explores our relationship with the climate – from clean energy jobs to pollution-free oceans – the subject choice is yours.

We here at AlterNet know many of our readers care deeply about the environment, which is why we strive to bring you some of the best coverage about the issues affecting our planet.

Winners will be picked by a host of impressive judges including Van Jones and the former head of the Whitney Museum. We hope you’ll participate in this worthy project!
