Three winners in each age category will be selected by a jury and announced in December.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is organizing a poster contest for children and youth in the age group of 5 to 19. The participants from all parts of the world are encouraged to use their imagination and create a poster of a food journey.

According to FAO, an agri-food system is a complex term but it is a part of our daily lives, every time we eat. The system covers the many different steps our food takes from the moment it’s grown and harvested all the way to when it’s transported, distributed, eaten, or disposed of. 

It includes all the people, activities and choices that play a part in getting us food and agricultural products. As a participant in the poster contest, you can take a photo or scan your poster and submit your entry by filling out the form on FAO website. The deadline is 5 November 2021.

Fifteen posters in each category (60 posters) will be selected for the shortlist by the screening committee and notified in December 2021.  Shortlisted candidates will receive a certificate for this achievement.

Three winners in each age category will be selected by a jury and announced in December. Winners will be promoted by FAO offices around the world and receive a surprise gift bag and Certificate of Recognition.
