IAF and ILAC are holding contests to develop the official poster and video for World Accreditation Day 2021 (#WAD2021).

This year’s theme is Accreditation: Supporting the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

WAD is celebrated each year on June 9th by IAF, ILAC, their members, partners and stakeholders in the conformity assessment community in acknowledgement of the benefits and value of accreditation. WAD 2021 will highlight how accreditation and accredited conformity assessment activities support the implementation of the SDGs, a series of 17 goals adopted by United Nations member states as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The contests will run from 18 February 2021 to 15 March 2021. Individuals or groups are eligible to submit up to three entries in each contest for consideration.

The winners of each contest will receive USD 1,500, while the two runners-up in each contest will receive USD 500.

Contest rules and guidelines for entry are available on the IAF website: https://www.iaf.nu/articles/Contests/679 and ILAC website: https://ilac.org/news-and-events/contest/.
