THE Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Action Awards, organised by the UN SDG Action Campaign, is seeking entries for its contest.
The program will recognise individuals and organisations working to advance the global movement for Sustainable Development Goals.
The contest has three categories: Mobilise, Inspire and Connect.
For the Mobilise category, projects must turn apathy into action by mobilising hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of individuals to take action for the SDGs and also seek initiatives with high impact, typically involving collective and coordinated actions that mobilise people to Flip the Script and achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
For the Inspire category, entries must harness the power of creativity to inspire positive change and shift behavior for the SDGs and also seek initiatives and inspirational campaigns that Flip the Script to shift individual behaviour and/or public policies.
For the Connect category, projects must turn the division into unity by connecting diverse sectors and partners – from citizens to institutions – to accelerate progress on the SDGs.
Winners will be honored at the UN SDG Action Awards Ceremony, live-streamed globally.
Storytellers, visualizers, activists, and others can enter this competition.
The deadline for the submission of entries is April 30. Interested applicants can apply here.
