The 2025 Ocean Awareness Contest – Connections to Nature: Looking Inside, Going Outside – encourages you to explore the natural world and your place in it. We invite you to think about your unique connection to nature and how being outside makes you feel. There are so many different ways that you can connect to nature, whether that’s exploring the history of the land you live on, volunteering in the fight against climate change, or taking a restorative walk in your local park. Go through the sub-themes and explore the topics that resonate with you. Share your relationship with the natural world through art, writing, performance, film, or multimedia. What is your connection to nature?

The ‘Second Curve’ in Life and Business This year’s Drucker Challenge is dedicated to the memory of social philosopher Charles Handy, who passed away in December 2024. Inspired by Peter Drucker and an influential management thinker himself, he shared his wisdom and insights at successive editions of the Global Peter Drucker Forum from its launch in 2009. One of Handy's central insights was that life and business seldom follow a straight, predictable path. As he explained in his book The Second Curve, success relies on recognizing when a current growth cycle nears its peak and preparing for the next. This concept applies across careers, organizations, and societies, as well as in personal lives, where transitions often require courage and reflection to embrace new opportunities. The 2025 Global Peter Drucker Challenge Essay Contest celebrates Handy’s enduring insights, inviting participants to explore how the Second Curve philosophy helps address and navigate change.
