Submission Guidelines

Metamorphosis Cleveland is an opportunity to express your own interpretation on the issues of climate, justice, equity, sustainability and change in and around Cleveland and beyond. Interpretations can be artistic, scientific, analytic, written, visual, performed, presented and just about anything in between.

Consider these questions as a starting point:

• What do you see as the most important issue, now and in the future, impacting climate, justice, equity and/or sustainability? What can we do to improve the outcomes related to this issue?
• What is the most important issue we face if Cleveland, the United States and the world are to survive indefinitely?
• How does the Cleveland of today compare to the Cleveland of the past? What are some examples of progress or deterioration?

Eligibility

• Must be currently enrolled as a Tri-C student for Spring 2024 as of April 19, 2024
• One entry per student or group
• Faculty sponsor required, though not necessarily a current instructor of the entrant
