The 2027 Blue Planet Awareness Contest is Now Open!
The 2027 Blue Planet Awareness Contest – Nature of Truth – challenges you to think critically about both natural and digital landscapes through the lens of environmental disinformation. Disinformation has long been used to generate discourse to delay or stop environmental action, and it has only been supercharged in today’s digital age. Be part of the solution and raise awareness about what environmental disinformation looks like through art, writing, performance, film, or multimedia.
