Arts Competition - "Imagine Food Systems 2050"
Tell us how you imagine your food-system in 2050, through artistic work! SFN+ is now hosting an arts competition that encourages young folk, including college students, to showcase their creativity and imagination regarding food cultures!
For instance, showcase through your artwork what you think about:
- how our food will be grown
- what we will be eating
- how we will shop for food
or just generally
- how you envision the world of food...........
...........In the year 2050!
You may submit work made through sketches, water paints, acrylics, crayons, as well as 3-dimensional sculptures, mixed-media artwork, interactive exhibition pieces, audio-visual production etc. Digitial creations are also very welcome.
