World Habitat Day Special Art Project - “MANY THANKS”
Call for Submissions

MANY THANKS

Let’s express “Thank You” to the people working for our community

Think about where you live and the places around you, who has helped you recently? Perhaps your teacher, neighbour, carer or doctor? In this challenging time of COVID-19, many people are working hard to protect our lives. At UN-Habitat we are supporting people’s efforts around the world to make our cities, towns and villages better places to live.

For World Habitat Day 2020, we want you to express “Thank You” to the people that help you most in your community through drawing, painting or sketching whatever you feel.

Submission Period: Monday, 13 July - Friday, 18 September 2020

You must be in the 4th to 6th grade at school (mainly Asia and the Pacific) to qualify and are free to use any materials you like (paints, pens, colouring pencils, computer illustration etc).
