2020 Peace Motion Graphics Competition: Call for Entries
Editor’s Note: WFWP is excited to announce an international graphics competition organized by the Sunhak Peace Prize Foundation, which gives people an opportunity to use your graphic skills, learn and share about current world issues. The foundation was established by WFWP Co-Founder Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon to continue the legacy of her late husband’s lifelong dedication to peace, and as such it recognizes incredible individuals who have contributed to peace in a biennial award ceremony, most recently held in February 2020 during the World Summit that a WFWP delegation attended (read report).
To raise awareness of the various themes of peace around the world and expand the culture of peace, the Sunhak Peace Prize Foundation is holding a motion graphics video competition and has invited WFWP to participate.
In a world facing complex and interconnected challenges that block the path toward peace, everyone’s action counts. When each one of us chooses dialogue and cooperation over conflict and competition, we can all move closer to a peaceful world.
To join the competition, choose a peace theme from the given list below and explore the topic and achievements of those who are working to further peace in that area. (Check out the Laureates* section of our website www.sunhakpeaceprize.org to start your research!) Then showcase your artistic and technical skills to create a motion graphics video to share with the world what you have learned.
