The UNSW School of Population Health aims to build healthier futures in Australia, our region and globally. We advocate for better health focusing on equity, diversity and social justice, working to positively impact health systems, policy and people’s lives in all that we do.

We want you to show us what is important to you, or how you are advocating for healthier futures in your community. Not using words, but a photo. Entries will be judged for artistic merit and public health impact by a multidisciplinary panel. 

The competition has been extended to close 11pm Friday 30 June 2023.
