Entrants to the awards have the opportunity for their work to be considered for use in major Greenpeace Australia Pacific campaigns in a variety of media including campaign posters, t-shirts, banners, flyers or other media.
The judging panel for the awards is made up of creative professionals working in the fields of graphic design, illustration, photography and visual communication. Greenpeace representatives are also represented on the judging panel.
