The competition aims to improve communication between artists and designers from different regions, raise the overall level of design and art creation, build a good ecological health, help everyone pay attention to ecology and sustainable development and ecological conservation.

The competition requires participants to design around key words such as “environmental protection, ecology, sustainability, development, life, health and safety” to stimulate creative enthusiasm and call on more people to work together to maintain ecological balance and promote sustainable development. The excellent result is a high recognition of the excellent professionalism and knowledge of our students and teachers, and fully demonstrates the excellent work of our university in ecological civilization education.
