Global Youth Safety in Urban Environments Competition

A photo, drawing and video contest to give young people a voice.

decor

The Global Youth Safety in Urban Environments Competition is a global photo, drawing and video contest for young people between 15 and 24 years old. From 3 August to 7 September, we received more than 150 beautiful entries from young people representing 33 countries from around the world about a safety concern in their urban environment.

We selected 20 finalists and, from 8 to 13 September, these entries could be voted upon (LIKED) by the general public through this album on the ICLEI Global Facebook page.

The winners were announced on 13 September through an online event (recording available here).

Aims
