About the National SDGs Children's Poster Contest

The National SDGs Children's Poster Contest is a poster contest for primary and middle school children in Japan. The contest has been run annually since 2020 by the non-profit organization Children's University Kunitachi, with the aim of promoting understanding and awareness of the SDGs. UNU has been an official supporter of the contest since 2024, when the UNU Rector's Award was added to the contest.
