We were thrilled to witness the exceptional talent and creativity showcased by young artists in this year’s t-shirt design competition. The theme for 2024 was plastic pollution and the marine life impacted by this problem.

We saw designs using crayons, paints, pens, highlighters and even reused plastic waste!  With over 300 entries, narrowing down the selection was no easy feat.

Thank you to all of our incredible young people for shining a light on the issue of plastic pollution. We hope you enjoyed the process. If your design wasn’t shortlisted this time round, don’t be discouraged. We’re planning plenty more creative opportunities for the future.

Now, it’s your turn to make your voice heard. Have a look at the shortlisted designs below, then scroll right to the bottom to choose a favourite – one for each of the three age categories. Choose the designs that inspire you to take action for our planet.

Voting will remain open until midnight on Sunday 24th March. Just one vote per person, and feel free to spread the word among your friends and family.

The winners of each category will receive an email notification, along with an organic cotton t-shirt featuring their winning design. The winning designs will also be available for purchase in the Greenpeace shop, so keep an eye out!
