A flourishing life on land is the foundation for our life on this planet. Promoting a sustainable use of our ecosystems and preserving biodiversity is not a cause. It is the key to our own survival the other issue of Gender biasness is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential.

Today's students are tomorrow's future, Vista Vision-2021 nurtures aspirational communities of student creators who can share important stories through pictures and influence the way people think.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. These goals have the power to create a better world, by ending poverty, fighting inequality, and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society, and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

Today's students are tomorrow's future, Vista Vision -2021 nurtures aspirational communities of student creators who can share important stories through pictures and influence the way people think.There is a saying that "the role of the artist is to make revolution irresistible."

We believe we need a worldwide sustainability revolution to protect our planet and the future of humanity. And what is the better way other than art to sensitize the people about these goals. We recognize the immense power of photographs, to raise awareness to the global community in a unique way. The contest was created to use a visual medium towards advancing awareness for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore the theme of the contest was chosen two of the very important Global Sustainable Development Goals i.e. Life on land and Gender Equality, with the aim to develop students' understanding of Global Sustainable Development Goals and to spread the message through their representation in the forms of photographs.
