Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Botswana Opens Artwork Call on Democracy

Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Botswana Opens Artwork Call on Democracy. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Botswana has announced a call for artwork submissions under the theme “Redesigning Democracy Together – What is your vision for democracy?” The initiative invites artists, creatives, and innovators to contribute to shaping dialogue around democracy through visual expression.

The submission process is straightforward. Participants are required to send in their digital artwork or photographs of their original pieces. Each entry must include the artist’s full name and the title of the artwork. All submissions should be sent by email to info.botswana@fes.de before the deadline of 30 September 2025.

To maintain fairness and efficiency, FES has clarified that hand-delivered submissions will not be accepted. This ensures all entries are processed digitally and within the given timeframe.

The call presents an opportunity not only for Botswana’s creative community but also for entrepreneurs and businesses engaged in the cultural and creative sectors. The theme encourages reflection on democratic values, offering local businesses in design, digital media, and the arts a chance to align their brand identities with socially relevant discussions. Supporting or collaborating with participating artists could also provide companies with fresh avenues for corporate social responsibility and brand visibility.

For additional information, interested participants can reach the organisers via +267 395 2441 or email info.botswana@fes.de.

This initiative underscores the role of creativity in democratic engagement and provides a platform for Botswana’s artists to influence national and global conversations through their work. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry may find this call a valuable opportunity to connect with new talent and foster innovation in ways that extend beyond business into societal impact.
