Art

Raises public awareness regarding global environmental problems and provides solutions.

Photography

Photography is a powerful means which can be used to raise awareness on the environmental problems we are confronting. The use of photojournalistic, documentary, experimental and expressive photography can inform, inspire and encourage the audience to take action. Photography is the art form that speaks louder than words. It induces the right emotional reactions concerning what is happening to the Earth.

VILIPO photography should capture certain environmental issues which evoke frustration or annoyance about the state of the planet. Your photos may express the changes due to construction, industrialization, use of fossil fuels, deforestation, land management policies and other problems affecting our world today.

Short Movie

Short films, videos and changing imagery has been used for many years to send the right message to the public on environmental issues.
VILIPO short films is looking for animated, live action or documentary films up to 6 minutes long. The purpose is to motivate, inform and encourage people to take a stand on any local or global environmental problem that you choose to depict.

Poster Design

Posters have been used for centuries to inform and raise awareness on certain social and political issues.

VILIPO is concerned with sending the right message to the public on local or global environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, waste management and global warming itself

Your poster should address a crucial issue on the environment so that the people may learn and do something about the problem at hand. In essence, your poster should endeavour to create behavioral change that will cause a ripple effect in today’s world.
