Create the poster for 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures; a competition to promote better communication and understanding between all peoples and cultures.

Application Closes: March 09, 2010 at 05:59PM UTC

Public Voting: March 11, 2010 to March 18, 2010 at 05:59PM UTC

Results Announcement: April 05, 2010 at 06:00PM UTC

The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2010, International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures, and has defined three main dimensions: dialogue, mutual understanding, and cooperation.

UNESCO, as a specialized agency of the United Nations entrusted with the mandate to build “the defences of peace in the minds of men,” has been designated as lead agency of the Year within the UN system.

Let us recall that the quest for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples is deeply entrenched in UNESCO’s Constitution (1946) as one of the best guarantees of peace in the world and constitutes an overarching objective of the Year 2010.

Furthermore, one of the major aims of the Year will be to demonstrate the beneficial effects of cultural diversity recognizing the importance of transfers and exchanges between cultures through implicit or explicit dialogue that underlines how all cultures and civilizations are interlinked and contribute to the progress of humankind.

The strategy of the International Year consists in mainstreaming the above-mentioned principles in all policy-making at local, national, regional and international levels through the involvement of the greatest number of relevant stakeholders. The activities carried out under the International Year focus on:

  • Promoting reciprocal knowledge of cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity
  • Building a framework for commonly shared values
  • Strengthening quality education and the building of intercultural competencies
  • Fostering dialogue for sustainable development.

Participants of the competition are invited to express their vision and understanding of the “Rapprochement of Cultures” by designing posters that creatively emphasize the importance of exchange and dialogue among and between cultures in ensuring social cohesion and harmonious coexistence.

To learn more about the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures, visit the website at: http://www.unesco.org/culture/en/dialogue/rapprochementof_Cultures2010

Prizes

30 posters will be selected for printing and showcasing at UNESCO Headquarters during the International Festival of Cultural Diversity in May 2010. See “Proposed Usage of Winning and Selected Entries” outlined above for details.

From the 30, UNESCO will select an Overall Winner who will receive a $2000 cash prize plus an invitation from UNESCO to attend the poster exhibition at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in May 2010. The winner’s trip (airfare, accommodation and per diem) will be paid for by UNESCO. The trip may not be substituted for cash payment.

In addition, two DESIGN 21 Advisory Board members will select their individual Judge’s Pick with a prize of $500 each.

Jardim Canadá Art Center – openCall2010 February 24, 2010

OPEN CALL:

JARDIM CANADÁ – The JA.CA Center for Art and Technology is pleased to announce a call for applications for a new artist residency!

JA.CA is a center for creation and artistic development located in the neighborhood of Jardim Canadá in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Jardim Canadá is bordered on one side by the city and on the other by the natural reserve Parque Estadual Serra do Rola-Moça.

At JA.CA, we think of technology, of new media, as something much beyond the technical — as a media in which artistic practice finds a dynamism and expressive immediacy congruent with the pace and fluidity of contemporary culture. We believe that new media is a critical tool for the advancement of ever-larger artistic dialogues involving new students, constituents, and interlocutors.

In 2010 JA.CA’s residency program expects to welcome Brazilian and international artists. International artists will be invited to stay for 2 months and the Residency Program will offer the following benefits: round-trip airfare from their country of origin to Belo Horizonte, individual accommodation, free access to a communal studio (with individualized workspace), and production assistance in the form of R$1,000 (Brazilian currency) per month. International residencies in 2010 will take place between the months of May and November.

The selection process will take place from February 20th to March 20th, 2010. Interested artists must apply using an online form. Applicants may continue to edit their online application until 11pm EST on March 20th, 2010 – after which applications will no longer be accepted.

Participants will be selected by a panel of curators, artists, and directors of other residencies.

The selection process will take into account the originality and coherence of the proposed project as well as the applicant’s particular artistic inquiry. All applicants—regardless of whether or not they are selected—will be notified by email.

For more information about the Center and the Residency Program:

Historically posters have been inextricably linked with cause-related campaigns. Visually striking, often iconic and frequently iconoclastic, posters grab the attention like no other medium. They effectively help spread a succinct message and in doing so shift attitudes and contribute to significant changes within society.

The brief is to design a poster that delivers the message ‘Be a Part of the Action’ – this does not necessarily have to be expressed in words. The poster could bear witness to catastrophic environmental damage and in doing so, cause outrage. Alternatively the poster could actively encourage peaceful protest to expose an environmental problem.

Above all, the poster needs to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire action.

The purpose of Greenpeace Design Awards is to acknowledge the achievements of the most innovative and creative individuals whose work best reflects environmental concerns in a visually striking and iconic way.

Entrants will have a chance to bring about real change in society as their work will be considered for use for major Greenpeace Australian Pacific campaigns.

In recognition of the excellence in design, the winning entrants will be awarded a unique Greenpeace Design Awards trophy.
