Stories of the Future Creative Challenge

A Glimpse into Tomorrow: What if We Get It Right?

Earth4All are inviting young people around the world to imagine new stories about the future – and share them in a creative challenge.

"When we tell better stories, we create space for change.''

We are constantly bombarded with headlines about environmental crises, social divides, and systemic unfairness. It is natural to feel a sense of dread, but the path ahead is not yet carved in stone. Our collective actions today determine the world of tomorrow.

The Stories of the Future initiative is calling on the next generation to envision a more hopeful world.

If you are aged 21 or under, Earth4All want to see your vision. Whether through the written word, digital art, traditional painting, or cinematography, share your vision of the future where humanity thrives.

• Who can enter: Anyone age 21 and under.

• Mediums: Short stories, essays, illustrations, paintings, or short films.

• Closing Date: 19 July 2026.

Entries are open to young people around the world and can be sent in any language. Earth4All want to celebrate young people’s creativity and imagination – so submissions that use AI are not allowed.

Entries will be judged in three categories: 15 and under, 16-18, 19-21 inclusive.

Written entries should be no longer than 1000 words. Videos should be under 1.5 minutes.

Ready to share your vision? Learn more about the challenge and submit your entry by 19 July 2026!
