Each year, the International Compost Awareness Week Committee holds a poster contest to pick a new design for the annual poster.
The 2023 International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) theme is truly a collaborative and international effort. This year, they teamed up with the International Compost Alliance (ICA) to select: For Healthier Soil, Healthier Food…Compost! The theme was chosen based on a serious world-wide issue that every nation, unfortunately, experiences: hunger.
