A Planet for tomorrow
Welcome to our 2018 edition!
It will be a year of
significant change for us: the final edition of our poster contest in
its current form. You can find the reasons for this decision here, together with the announcement of this year's them.
On a practical level, the schedule for the poster contest has condensed into seven months. The contest will open for entries on February 20 and close on May 10. Instead of December 10, the Worldwide Exhibition of the 100 best posters will take place on September 16, International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.
Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this year each entrant will only be allowed to submit a maximum of three posters to the contest.
Good luck and thank you for your continued support!

FAKE NEWS!
Fake news might feel like a recent development that has only come to prominence since the election of one politician who shall not be named, but the practice of spreading rumours and misinformation is as old as the printed word.
People have always twisted the truth, or simply told lies, to get what they want (or change the world). But now we have the ability to share information faster and wider than ever before. It used to be only a few media outlets or government sources that could shape public thought, but now everyone can.
And unlike the media or government, none of us are held accountable for what we post. As there are few laws or fines that can be thrown at us for posting lies, there is no incentive to act responsibly in the public sphere. Get likes (or votes) first, worry about potential consequences later. If the self-styled leader of the free world can’t be held to account for regularly tweeting and spreading blatant untruths, then what stops everybody else from doing the same?
