United Nations Climate Change Project: Winner Announcement

In August, I created a post explaining what the United Nations Climate Change project was and what it entailed. For those of you who are unaware of this project, this project was proposed to Full Sail University and it's students by the Embassies of France to make a difference in climate change. They asked us to find creative ways to promote solutions and raise awareness for climate change so we can change the world for the better. The Embassies of France would also like to use our artwork and creations at conferences that will be held in Canada, North America, as well as France. We were proposed to use our artistic freedom to create what we thought would raise awareness in the best ways possible. We were given a two week deadline to complete this project - on top of the courses that we are currently taking at Full Sail for our degrees. This project started on July 6, 2014.

Today, the winners for this project were announced! Each category (art, film, marketing, and music) had first, second, and third place winners. I am proud to announce that I was fortunate enough to win first, as well as second, place for the two traditional art pieces I submitted in the Art category! The directors of this organization at Full Sail also provided all of the participants of this project with letters of recommendation to add to our portfolios. I am so incredibly blessed and thankful for this opportunity!

This project taught me how to manage my time management skills, I learned about the effects of climate change and what we can do to change it, and I also feel honored to be a part of such a great organization that will make a difference in this world. This project gave many of us fantastic opportunities to blossom as artists. With that said, I just want to say a big thank you to the Embassies of France for providing us with this great opportunity, and thank you to Full Sail as well for providing us with this challenge as artists.
