About the Competition
The Animal Law Study Club at the School of Law, UPES, is excited to announce the I National Poster Presentation Competition on Animal Laws. This inaugural event offers a unique platform for students, researchers, academicians, and animal law enthusiasts nationwide to exhibit their creativity and analytical skills. The competition aims to merge creativity with intellectual rigour, encouraging participants to delve into critical issues in animal law and express their viewpoints visually.
Participants are required to create AI-generated posters that explore various facets of animal law, including recent developments, emerging legal challenges, and new policies regarding animal welfare. The emphasis will be on both the aesthetic appeal of the posters and the clarity of the concepts presented. Submissions will be evaluated by a designated jury based on criteria such as originality, adherence to theme, and overall presentation quality.
The competition not only allows participants to showcase innovative ideas but also encourages them to propose actionable solutions within the realm of animal rights and legal frameworks. During the presentation phase, participants will have the opportunity to articulate their rationale and decisions regarding their chosen concepts, linking their work to broader discussions on animal rights and legal protections.
The primary objective of this competition is to enhance participants’ understanding of current developments in animal law while fostering innovation in their approaches. The School of Law at UPES is committed to promoting awareness and engagement in this vital field, and we eagerly anticipate the participation of enthusiastic teams in this exciting competition.
