As a supporter of the Save the Arctic Campaign I will be looking for a design that is strong and clear enough to resonate globally.

Flag for the Future judge

 

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a flag design that is a symbol of:
  • hope
  • peace
  • global community
Remember that this is a Flag for the Future for all life on Earth – it is not just one country’s flag – so we are looking for something special.
The Arctic matters to all of us wherever we live, so your design does not have to be a picture of the Arctic.

Who can participate?

Any person aged between 6 and 26 can participate in the competition.
You do not have to be a Girl Guide or a Girl Scout to enter.
We will only accept one entry per person.
The contact person for the submission needs to be over 18 years old, even if the submission is from someone younger.
Important. The deadline for entries has been extended to the 27th February 2013

For more information about the campaign go towww.savethearctic.org and/or read the campaign information sheet that can be downloaded at www.flagforthefuture.org
23. Although this is the intention, Greenpeace UK cannot be held liable if they are unable to carry out this plan for whatever reason also because the Arctic is a harsh environment.

The entrant, by entering the competition, grants an exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free world wide assignable license, for all media now existing or subsequently devised, in all languages, in perpetuity to WAGGGS and Greenpeace UK, who shall accept upon receipt of the submission, to use work, whether or not it wins a prize, for any and all purposes and to do any and all acts now or subsequently comprising the copyright in the submission, or any part of the submission, including without limitation:
