AKS is one of the many initiatives launched as a part of Ismaili CIVIC Pakistan in the year 2021. It encourages youth around Pakistan to articulate their relationship with Nature and their ideas for making a sustainable environment through their diverse artistic expressions. Ismaili CIVIC centralizes “Environment” as its core theme; however, with each passing year it is focusing on other sub-characteristics of environments. In 2023-2024, Ismaili CIVIC is concentrating on “Water and Energy Conservation” as its theme for upcoming programs and activities. Therefore, AKS 2.0 – An Art Competition Theme is: “Biodiversity".

Showcase the world's biodiversity hotspots, celebrating the incredible variety of species found in Pakistan. Biodiversity hotspots are like magical places where nature shows off its most incredible creations. Biodiversity hotspots can be found all over the world, from lush rainforests to dry deserts. A biodiversity hotspot is like a secret hideout for Earth's most special and diverse creatures. These are places where nature has packed in an incredible variety of life forms, many of which can't be found anywhere else on Earth. Think of them as nature's own theme parks! They are not just essential for the creatures that call them home, but also for our planet's well-being.
