World Ocean Day 2024 Zine
To commemorate World Ocean Day 2024, we organized a contest inviting young individuals to contribute their artistic or literary creations. A selection of these submissions was then curated into a zine.
Thank you to all the participants!
To everyone who submitted to our open call and who attended our showcase webinar, YOI couldn't have done it without you.
So many amazing artists spoke about their work during our event, and we encourage those that were unable to attend to take a look at the zine father down the page. A wheel of fate decided the two young artists that will receive monetary prizes from YOI during the webinar, and the winners were...
