The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, has opened a Call for Expressions of Interest for Ghanaians to submit creative concepts for an artefact that will represent Ghana at the headquarters of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva, Switzerland.
The initiative forms part of activities marking the 30th Anniversary of the National Communications Authority (NCA). It seeks to provide an opportunity for Ghanaian creativity, culture and innovation to be showcased on an international platform.
Create a Piece of Ghana for the World
Under the initiative, Ghanaian artists and creatives are being invited to submit concepts for a distinctive and original artefact that can represent the country at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva.
The selected concept is expected to be iconic and suitable for permanent display in an international diplomatic setting. This means applicants are encouraged to develop ideas that reflect Ghana’s identity, heritage, creativity, innovation and cultural values while also being appropriate for an international audience.
The initiative provides an opportunity for Ghanaian creatives to contribute to the country’s international cultural representation through art and design.
Who Can Apply?
According to the information released by the organisers, the opportunity is open to every Ghanaian. Eligible applicants include:
- Students
- Individual creatives
- Artists
- Companies
- Other Ghanaian creative professionals and groups
There is no minimum experience requirement, making the opportunity accessible to both emerging and established creatives.
Applicants are encouraged to submit original and thoughtful concepts capable of communicating an important aspect of Ghana to an international audience.
Application and Deadline
The call for expressions of interest opened on Monday, 5 October 2026.
Interested applicants are required to submit their concepts by Thursday, 15 October 2026.
This gives applicants a limited period to prepare and submit their creative proposals before the deadline.
An Opportunity to Showcase Ghanaian Creativity
The initiative is significant because the proposed artefact will be displayed at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, providing an international platform for Ghanaian creativity.
A successful concept could serve as a lasting representation of Ghana in an important international institution. Applicants may therefore consider how their ideas can capture Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, history, artistic traditions, technological development and contemporary identity in a distinctive way.
The project also highlights the connection between technology, culture and creativity, bringing together the work of the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts.
