Core Introduction: Art on Climate is a global climate-themed visual creative competition organised by Fingertips Company Limited and sponsored by Allianz Global Investors. Born in Spain in 2019, the competition has run for seven editions, with the 2025 cycle attracting over 3,500 works and videos from more than 2,600 illustrators across 100 locations. The 2026 edition returns with the unifying theme of "Climate Change", inviting creators to translate complex climate strategies into compelling visual narratives through one of five sub-topics — climate transition, planetary boundaries, inclusive capitalism, innovation & technology, or collective action. Beyond cash prizes, winners gain visibility among global climate leaders, industry investors and media, with the Organiser and Sponsor receiving a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide licence to use all submitted works. The competition's mission is to move climate communication beyond specialist circles into everyday public life. Disputes are governed by Hong Kong law.
