Enter the 2025 Grantham Climate Art Prize

Students aged 11 – 25 are invited to enter the 2025 Grantham Climate Art Prize by designing a mural to draw attention to the climate crisis. Two murals will be unveiled in 2025 at Imperial College and designs for the first a mural – at the South Kensington campus – are now being sought.  

Students from Imperial and schools, colleges and universities across London can submit a design for the mural with the theme From Grey to Green – focusing on the importance of boosting nature and green innovation to allow us to have a more sustainable future, which will be better for the planet and for our physical and mental health

The winning design will be transformed into a large-scale (9.4m by 2m) mural in Dalby Court by a professional artist while runner-up designs will be exhibited on the campus.

The art prize is a biennial competition and previous themes have included British Biodiversity Loss (2021) and A Greener, Cleaner, Cooler World (2023), inspired by the Grantham Institute’s 9 things you can do about climate change. As well as the 12 murals across Great Britain – from Brighton to Glasgow – we have had exhibitions of winning and runner-up designs, including at COP26, in museums, and on billboards in London’s transport hubs.

Further details of the competition – including the entry form – are available on the Grantham Climate Art Prize webpage. The deadline is by 31 January 2025. If you need to you can send a clear photograph of your landscape style design as a JPEG, PNG or GIF less than 20MB to granthamartprize@imperial.ac.uk with your name, email address, date of birth, age, title of your artwork and a brief description of the artwork.
