"This campaign represents a decisive moment in Africa's journey towards true integration. We are calling on Africa's creative talent to help us visualise what a borderless Africa looks and feels like—a visa-free continent, where a young entrepreneur in Nairobi can trade seamlessly with a customer in Lagos, using just her mobile money wallet, where a graduate in Accra can get a job with his certificate in Addis Ababa, and where our shared cultures and innovations flow without hindrance."
The competition is open to young (35 years or younger) professional designers, students, and amateur creatives of African descent worldwide. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of creative professionals, campaign partners, and representatives from the APN Secretariat.
