World Ocean Day 2024 Zine
In celebration of World Ocean Day 2024, YOI organized a competition inviting artists and writers to contribute their creations for inclusion in a zine, with the added incentive of a prize draw. The initiative garnered over 20 entries globally, culminating in the presentation of the zine at YOI's World Ocean Day 2024 live webinar on June 8th, 2024.
