2022 Young Artists & Authors showcase

2022 YAAS Theme

Climate change has become an undeniably harsh reality in our lives,  making the importance of raising awareness and taking action more  essential every day. As temperatures rise, water patterns are disrupted,  ecosystems are disturbed, and energy resources are proven to be  unsustainable for long-term use. These ongoing changes impact our local  and global communities in every aspect, and youth are the key to tackle  this global reality.  


In line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Sister Cities International will adopt climate change as the overarching theme for its Young Artists and Authors Showcase in  both 2022 and 2023. For the 2022 competition, SCI is proud to invite all  its youth members to create submissions that highlight the importance  of climate change and its impact on water resources. The official 2022  Young Artists and Authors Showcase theme is Generation Rescue: Sustainable Water for All.

We encourage our youth to be creative and examine all aspects of this year's theme:

  • What does water sustainability mean to you?
  • How has your community been affected by climate change and water disruption?
  • How can you, as a future leader contribute to the solution?

Eligibility

Entrants must be ages 13-18 before April 1, 2022, and students must reside in Chandler.
