Description
The goal of the awards is to seed and cultivate our shared desire for a better world. The result of the Shrinkage Worldwide Awards are multi-disciplinary, multi-use posters which explore, divulge, foster, sensitise and awaken both shrinkage culture and experience.
The completion of the Shrinkage Worldwide Awards will build the foundation for the realization of a unique, informative and educative art and design experience which contributes to the momentum of a sustainable future by providing an experience that provokes and stretches the minds of its viewers.

What Shrinkage is?
At first, we have to throw dictionaries away; then, begin to look around, sense-it, feel-it, and define-it.
Shrinkage, so-to-say the Second Renaissance, calls upon community to re-think and reassess the daily thoughts, attitudes and decisions, which go beyond the social responsibility, sustainability, green movement, and so-forth.
