Let your voice be heard, your jokes be clever, and your message be loud: saving the planet can be serious, but it can also be seriously funny!
Nukkad Natak has always been a medium for direct, powerful, and unfiltered expression—and here, the street becomes the stage for stories of sustainability, conservation, and climate responsibility.
Participants are encouraged to bring alive thought-provoking narratives that address issues such as waste reduction, water conservation, biodiversity protection, and renewable energy adoption, while keeping the performance engaging, inclusive, and impactful.
From climate-resilient buildings to renewable energy systems, from waste-to-resource innovations to community eco-spaces—the models should showcase design thinking that blends creativity with environmental responsibility.
The aim is to encourage practical yet imaginative solutions that could address real-world sustainability challenges, demonstrating how small-scale ideas can inspire large-scale impact.
Participants are encouraged to rethink fashion through the lens of environmental responsibility using natural materials, repurposed items, biodegradable accessories, or innovative waste-to-wear ideas.
This isn’t just a music contest, it’s a celebration of sustainability, resourcefulness, and expression.
