Description

Now accepting registrations and proposals!

Project SOY Plus (Sustainable Opportunities for You) is an annual student competition that challenges students to look towards a more sustainable future through two competition streams: Project and Creative. Students may develop an innovative product concept within the scope of the yearly theme or submit a written proposal and poster for a creative piece (inc. sculptures, paintings, mixed media, photography, video art, poetry, written works, music, etc.) drawing connections between the theme, innovation, and research. For the 2025 competition, the theme is the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Zero Hunger (SDG 2) and Life on Land (SDG 15).

This competition is open to all U of G students from any diploma/degree level, program, and campus.
