World Food Day Poster Contest 2017
World Food Day Poster Contest 2017 now is over!
World Food Day Poster Contest 2017: Poster competition World Food Day Poster Contest is opening entries inviting all children and teens from 5 to 19 years old to use their imaginations and express their ideas on the World Food Day theme: ’Change the future of migration. Invest in food security and rural development.’
About Competition
Large movements of people today are presenting complex challenges, which call for global action.
People are fleeing their homes due to conflict and political instability, hunger, poverty, and an increase in extreme weather events linked to climate change. The situation calls for urgent global action.
Many migrants come from rural areas where three quarters of the extreme poor survive on agriculture or other rural activities. We need to create conditions that give rural people the choice to stay home, when they feel it is safe to do so.
This poster contest is divided into four categories:
• ages 5 to 8
• ages 9 to 12
• ages 13 to 15
• ages 16 to 19
Only 1 entry should be submitted per person.
