Earth Day Competition 2022

Invest in our Planet

The Earth Day Competition was launched in April 2022. Afrikindness UK and KadaHive innovation tech hub Kaduna Nigeria in collaboration with Yasmin El-Rufai foundation launched the Earth Day Writing and Poster competition for all Nigerian students ages 8 – 25 years.

The purpose of the competition was to give creative and innovative young minds the platform to share their great ideas and seek innovative & sustainable solutions to the environmental challenges in Nigeria. It was also an opportunity for students to showcase their literary and creative skills through stories, spoken words, poems, art posters, and essays that best explain what threatens Earth's existence and propose sustainable solutions and ways to address the climate crisis.

We received entries that covered topics like biofuel technology, deforestation, recycling, a litter-free environment, ocean-free plastics, and great art posters as well.  The judges comprising of environmentalists, teachers, industry professionals, and well-known literary educators spent considerable time reviewing and assessing all submitted entries. 

Thank you to everyone who entered and special thanks to all the parents, teachers, and guardians who encouraged and supported the children to enter the competition.
