UNESCO is looking for an institution to organize and promote a contest
Recognized as UNESCO Creative City of Design in 2019, Ha Noi has committed to place culture and creativity at the core of its sustainable development, with a wider vision to become a leading creative hub of Southeast Asia. In order to support the commitment of the city, UNESCO is leading the project Mobilizing Cultural Dynamics and Youth Participation towards Ha Noi Creative Capital with the slogan “Hanoi Rethink” together with other two implementing partners UNIDO and UN Habitat. This project will support Ha Noi City to implement its new strategic vision of a Creative City of Design, harnessing its cultural assets and youth participation as key agents for innovation, creativity, and social change.
One of the key outcomes of the project is to empower young Vietnamese creative talent to influence and contribute to the new development agenda of Ha Noi as the Creative Capital with innovative ideas and actions. To realize this outcome and to provide youth a platform to participate and demonstrate their creativity, UNESCO is organizing the Ha Noi Illustration Contest with the theme “Hanoi is…?” under three categories- illustration, one-page comic, and motion art. This contest hopes to bring together young creative talents, recreating the capital with imagination and creativity.
UNESCO is looking for an institution to organize and promote the contest to ensure the contest quality in terms of outreach to the targeted illustrators and young designers community.
