Description

The Human Impacts Institute is proud to announce our open call for the 2024 Creative Climate Awards, with the theme of Solutions from the frontlines. We urge your submission to address the following prompt:

How does your work amplify solutions from communities most impacted by climate change?

WHAT WE ACCEPT: All 2D works, films (shorts and features), 3D works (sculptures and installations), as well as performances (dance, theater, music, etc). Only completed pieces will be considered. Please, do not submit concept notes or requests for commissions. Artists from communities that are underrepresented and/or are most impacted by the climate crisis are strongly encouraged to apply.

NOTE: Artists are responsible for costs of shipping works to and from NYC.
Performers must be able to perform in NYC between April 20th and May 20th, 2024.

WHAT ARE CREATIVE CLIMATE AWARDS?
The Human Impacts Institute’s Creative Climate Awards (CCA) are an annual series of events that showcase artists creating climate-inspired, public works. In an effort to inspire us to think more critically about our actions and their impacts, the Creative Climate Awards program uses the arts and creativity to share knowledge, broaden the climate conversation, educate, and incite action. The Creative Climate Awards are a month-long festival of virtual conversations, screenings, artist talks, and a citywide exhibit in New York City.

WHAT YOU GET: Our CCA provides an opportunity to creatively engage tens-of-thousands of people in climate action, while having your work seen by our judges and mentors from some of the top art and environment institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, MOCADA, Children’s Museum of NY, PBS, All Arts/WNET, and many more.
