Rules for entry

Every application must name the individual (or group of individuals), as the author(s) of the submission.

In the case of a group of authors, the names and ages of all authors must be listed. This group will be considered as a single applicant in the copyright rules described below. The term “you” in these rules refers to each such applicant as an individual and as a group of applicants.

Entrants must be at least 18 years old. WHO encourages all artists to apply and participate regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Young artists, women and artists from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

The objective of WHO is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible levels of health. Entries that conflict with this objective may not be published.

Your submission must be your own work, must not be copied, must not contain any third-party materials and/or content that you do not have permission to use, must not promote your own or third party goods or services or include any trademarks (other than those belonging to WHO), and must not show inappropriate or dangerous behaviour, or otherwise be obscene, defamatory, distasteful, offensive, or in breach of any applicable legislation or regulations, or in breach of confidentiality obligations owed by you to third parties.
