In 2008 every second child in the world lives in poverty; and 10 million children die each year from preventable and curable diseases.

Artists are invited to 'speak up' on behalf of those in poverty and 'speak out' against injustice.

Create an artwork that expresses your vision to end global poverty. Entries should reflect upon and speak out on achieving the Millennium Development Goals, such as global primary education, basic health care, empowering girls, access to clean water and action on climate change! Works can be in any medium, including paint, pencil, photography, multimedia, sculpture and textiles.

Selected artworks will be exhibited at Parliament House, Canberra for the month of October 2008. Micah Challenge prizes awarded at the official opening on Tuesday, 14 October, 2008.
