Spring 2023 Art Challenge
In Partnership with the Jane Goodall Roots & Shoots Book Challenge Hosted by Upschool
Entries close June 1, 2023
Your Challenge:
Choose a project that interests you and create an illustration for it
This project was born out of a realization that there is a lot of media coverage about the countless problems facing our planet, but not enough discussion about the solutions to those problems. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program in partnership with Upschool, has developed a book containing personal letters written by people from around the world, who are doing positive work to benefit people, animals, and the natural environment. In these letters, environmental and social justice activists share their experiences of making a difference, and provide advice for young people who too want to create change, but may not know where to begin.
How Do I Enter?
Step 1: Read the letter overviews above & watch the videos
Step 2: Choose a letter that interests you
Step 3: Review the resource guidelines on Upschool
& create an illustration for your chosen letter
Step 4: Upload your illustration
Step 5: Your illustration will be considered for publication in this book
BONUS: For artwork not selected for publication, you will still have the opportunity to donate your finished piece to the art gallery at our studio in San Jose to be sold, where proceeds will go towards building a library for young learners.
