The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), and the ANDROID Disaster Resilience Network are launching a Media Arts competition undergraduates and postgraduates as a way to look into the future: Where will humanity be by the year 2045 if we fail to tackle disaster risk? We are looking for original, wise, brave, eye-opening and creative outcomes that will increase the awareness of viewers to the dangers of ignoring disaster risk, to the resilience of humans facing, to the politics of international development, and to efforts and agents of change locally and worldwide. The competition is linked to a major global campaign run by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR). 2000 cities from across the world are partners in the campaign.
