About Competition


In recognition of the 4th anniversary commemorating International Identity Day (ID-Day) on September 16, ID4Africa , as a founding member of the Identity Day Coalition, is inviting African digital artists to participate in their first-ever Design Competition.

The purpose of the design is to promote ID-Day with an impactful image that will both inspire and encourage the worldwide community to rally around this important cause.

As digital artists, this will be your opportunity to use your creativity to raise awareness of identity as a key enabler of inclusive socio-economic development in all countries worldwide but most importantly in Africa.

Selection of finalists and the winner will be conducted in two rounds:

Round 1: Community Engagement: July 21-30

In this phase, members of the international identity community will be invited to vote online for the most representative design. The top 3 candidates who secure the highest overall vote will be selected as finalists for the next round.

Round 2: Judges (The IIC): August 9-13

The ID4Africa Identity Council represented by ID4Africa Ambassadors who represent 48 African member states, will conduct the final vote. The artwork which gathers the highest vote will be declared the official ID-Day 2021 theme design.
