The IAEA has launched an infographic design contest for young professionals aged 18 to 35 to raise awareness about emergency preparedness and response in nuclear and radiological contexts.
Submissions should be compelling, original infographics inspired by the IAEA's emergency preparedness and response (EPR) publications. Participating youth are encouraged to turn complex EPR concepts into engaging visuals to enhance public understanding and policy dialogue on EPR. Submissions will be judged on visual clarity, technical accuracy, originality, relevance to the conference themes, and overall impact.
"Explore IAEA's EPR publications, which are filled with essential guidance for emergency professionals and the public. Unleash your creativity, win prizes, and gain recognition by joining our Youth Infographic Contest for EPR2025," advised Carlos Torres Vidal, Director of the IAEA's Incident and Emergency Centre and Scientific Secretary of the Conference, to young people seeking to enter the contest.
"We want to see how this knowledge can be brought to life-taken off the page and transformed into clear, accessible visuals that help people understand the principles of emergency preparedness and response. This supports the aim of the EPR2025 conference: to ensure that emergency preparedness is ready to meet the evolving challenges of the future," he added.
Prizes and Opportunities
The top five winners will be invited to present their infographic at the International Conference on Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies (EPR2025), which will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 1 to 4 December 2025, with all travel expenses covered. Their work will also be featured in the IAEA Bulletin and showcased at the United Nations Headquarters in Vienna. In addition, up to 10 finalists will receive visibility across the IAEA's communication platforms, as well as on the Nuclear Young Generation (UN-NYG) networks.
Dr Khalid Aleissa, Chief Executive Officer Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said, "Saudi Arabia places great value on youth engagement and on nurturing the next generation of professionals in nuclear safety and emergency preparedness and response."
"This design contest is a unique opportunity for young people to showcase their skills, and we look forward to receiving a wide range of applications," said Amelia Martin, Vice President of the United Nations Nuclear Young Generation chapter and one of the contest judges.
