The Peace over Prejudice Campaign (PoP) is excited to announce the launching of its
2nd Annual Peace Art Contest!
DEADLINE: MONDAY, APRIL 5th
Create an artistic piece fitting one of 3 themes:
1) the process of peace-building in our daily lives
Some possible ideas for this may include not only depictions of promoting peace in everyday life, but also promoting values such as justice/compassion/forgiveness, etc. We hope to see entries that illustrate how the abstract ideas of peace and justice can be concretely implemented. We also believe it is important to emphasize that peace-building is an ongoing, continual process.
2) art to propel activism and overcome apathy
People say that a picture can be worth a thousand words, or a song can start a movement. Show us any artistic depiction you think is powerful and compelling enough to help overcome apathy and promote greater awareness of and concern for any social justice issue(s).
3) peace and pop culture
What are some examples or ways in which values like peace, social consciousness and pluralism can/are promoted through pop culture? Can pop culture hinder efforts to overcome apathy? If so, how can this be overcome?
