Open Call for 2021 Urban Tree Festival Events, Activities & Media

 

We’re seeking submissions for events, activities and media for the 2021 Urban Tree Festival.

The Urban Tree Festival became an on-line platform for discussion, experience and regard for our urban trees last year. In May 2021 we would love to build on our award-winning success, and we can do that with your creative ideas and support.

We envisage that COVID restrictions will inevitably limit on-the-ground activities, but as eternal optimists, we would be happy to hear from those of you who can pivot their activities on or off-line, create hybrid activities, or offer purely on-line projects.

This Open Call is for any urban tree related activity from anywhere in the world. These might include live or pre-recorded events, self guided trails, videos of events or experiences, Zoom discussions or reading groups, quizzes, photography or writing. We'd love to promote your activities as best we can. 

Complete the Open Call Submission Form, read the FAQ . The Open Call closes on 28th February 2021.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Want to find out more?

We ran an Open Call Advisory event on Saturday 13th February - in a short while we will make available the presentation slides and if possible, a video recording on the FAQs here.
