There is no specific theme, but artwork that aligns with one or more of the following topics is preferred: Nature, environment, sustainability; Social and cultural inclusion; Gender equality; Mental well-being; Civil rights; Accessible education.

There is total freedom in the choice of creative style. In case the author has no experience in creating a wall drawing, a minimal and/or geometric style is encouraged, with a predominance of flat backgrounds.
