World AMR Awareness Week 2025 Poster competition

“Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future”

🕙Submission deadline: 23:59 (ICT) 14 November 2025

Antimicrobial resistance(AMR) threatens the health of people, animals, plants, and the environment. When microbes no longer respond to medicines, infections become harder, or sometimes impossible, to treat. To stop AMR, we must act now across all sectors through awareness, prevention, and responsible use of antimicrobials.

To celebrate World AMR Awareness Week(18 to 24 November), FAO Vietnam invites the youth in Viet Nam to design a poster with a theme:

“Act together to stop antimicrobial resistance”

Your poster should illustrate how:

Collective action and awareness can help protect our health, food systems, and environment
Everyone plays a role in preserving the power of antimicrobials

Use your creativity to inspire others to act against AMR! Show how science, people, and society can come together to help us protect our shared future. Your inspiration might be your community, classmates, or even decision makers - make them feel that action starts now.

Take a photo or scan your poster and submit your entry by filling out the form on our website. Five winners in each age category will be selected by our jury and announced on FAO Vietnam Facebook and contacted through E-mail on 16 November. Winners will be promoted by FAO Viet Nam in the World AMR Awareness Week Celebration Forum and receive a certificate and a surprise gift bag.

To participate, you must be aged 6-22. The deadline for entries is 14 November 2025.
