FESTival details

---

The Youth Imagine The Future FESTIVAL is an optional follow-up to our group presentation, a chance for you to show everyone what a community you know might look  like when we rely entirely on renewable energy,  begin to work seriously on restoring biodiversity , and improve the state of social justice.

Submit a short story or piece of visual art that fit the festival criteria (please check the criteria) for your chance to win some amazing prizes!

If possible, attend a presentation at your school, learn about new technologies and nature-based solutions for fighting climate change.  (If you were unable to see a presentation,  email us and we will send the slideshow to one of your teachers for you. )  Write a short story or create a piece of art that shows how these solutions might fit into our everyday lives. The stories can be about anything-- a romance, an adventure, a drama, but show how the community is improving in the background of your story.

You can see examples of stories and hopeful eco-art under the Previous Festivals tab or read published solarpunk stories. (See menu.)

All entries are due between Oct. 15th - October 31st, 2025. You can find more details about how to submit your story/art on the next pages.
