Poster Contest

The MY HERO Project presents the Digital Sustainability Mural Contest in partnership with The Art Miles Project and the UN Association - San Diego.

“At its essence, sustainability means ensuring prosperity and environmental protection without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A sustainable world is one where people can escape poverty and enjoy decent work without harming the earth’s essential ecosystems and resources; where people can stay healthy and get the food and water they need; where everyone can access clean energy that doesn’t contribute to climate change; where women and girls are afforded equal rights and equal opportunities.” - Secretary General, Ban-Ki Moon

The Poster Contest was developed in partnership with The Art Miles Project in order to promote and celebrate heroes furthering the UN Sustainability Goals.
