Online submission

Online submissions with your full name are possible as well via our e-mail address climate.art.macs@gmail.com insofar as the quality of your artwork is not compromised by such.

The prize

The winning artworks will be chosen, among others, by a jury of the art commission, professional Swiss artists and professors from the Institute of Economy and the Environment (IWÖ-HSG). It will be exhibited at the University of St. Gallen and in addition, the winner will receive a 3-month subscription to Planted Food worth CHF 200.

Vision

Global warming requires creative approaches and ideas. Thus, our vision is to draw attention to climate change and its consequences through art in a visual way.
Therefore, we encourage you to do your part to raise awareness about "Climate Change is Expensive". Because doing nothing is more expensive than stopping global warming.

Mission

We are convinced that many HSG members are artistically gifted in addition to their intellectual abilities. Therefore, MaCS and proArte from the University of St. Gallen, together with the support of the Art Commission, invite all HSG members to participate in the upcoming art competition. You can showcase your talent and make a climate-positive contribution at the same time. ​Ultimately, we thereby hope to expand the perception of HSG as a sustainable, open-minded, and progressive university. ​
