Human Rights Day Poster Competition

Posted by The Law School

28 October 2024
  • First prize of £50, and two runners-ups £25 each
  • Enter by 29 November 2024
  • Topic: UDHR in 2024: existing rights and new rights for the future

On 10 December 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UDHR, proclaiming the inherent dignity of every human person and the fundamental rights which we all possess, equally and universally. The rights enshrined within the UDHR are expressed as the ‘foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world’, and the UDHR sets out ‘a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations’ to which ‘every individual and every organ of society … shall strive’.

To mark this anniversary, the Human Rights and Democracy Forum is organising a poster competition to reflect on the following:

  • UDHR in 2024: existing rights and new rights for the future

The winner of the competition will be awarded a first prize of £50, and the two runners-ups will be awarded £25 each. In addition, the three competition winners will receive an award certificate. The winning poster will be displayed on the HRDF website scrolling banner. You can get see the winning entries from last year’s on our webpage here.
