The theme of the competition is "green earth" with a holiday slant. Per the website:
- green: Create a graphic artwork that illustrates the environmental protection and how human beings and nature could coexist in a greener world.
- earth: Give the gift of a greener world at Christmas. Create a graphic artwork that will make this festive time of the year a moment to consider what we can do to help our planet's survival. You can use iconic Christmas motifs in your design for example reindeer, trees, etc.
