EnVision 2050: Is the Future Nature? is looking for poster art works, designs and ideas created by students like you, in grade 6 through 12. You are encouraged to think about the future of tomorrow’s cities, from how they will look to how people will move within them, with an eye towards nature and natural processes. The issues of global warming and carbon emissions should also be considered. And your city should definitely be sustainable.

Partners
EnVision 2050 has partnered with Focus The Nation, the Earthday Network, the Natural World Museum, The National Outdoor Leadership School, Conservation International and National Environmental Education Week.

Submissions
You can enter your poster online or by mail. Each entry should be accompanied by a description of the idea. Each student must fill out a Parental Consent Form. Download and fill out your Submission forms & Parental Consent forms for entry.

By Mail:
