Accept conditions

We accept portraits featuring one person only, looking towards the camera, close and clear! No animals, signs, overlaid texts or graphics please. We'll only use your photo and the information you give us within the context of the We Are Watching project. This includes the website, physical flag, and in the promotion of this project.

Your photo and information will be shared with Greenpeace, who may use it for the same purposes. Here's more on We Are Watching’s Privacy Policy and here is more on Greenpeace and its global network.

#WeAreWatching is a monumental flag, showing an eye made up of thousands of portraits contributed from around the world. It flies on a crane the height of a 10-storey building to hold leaders accountable as they decide the future of our planet. Its message is crystal-clear: The world is watching!

#WeAreWatching recently collaborated with Greenpeace on their Global Plastics Treaty campaign. The flag was raised in Busan, South Korea, during the UNEP’s fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-5). Dan Acher's globally participative installation has also flown in Madrid (COP25), Geneva and London. Various UK cities hosted it on its way to November 2021's COP26 in Glasgow.

THE EYE

The Greenpeace Global Plastics We Are Watching campaign is now closed. You can still zoom in below to see who contributed to the flag and what they had to say.

Thank you for your support! This campaign is now closed. You can see the flag flying in Busan here.

WHO'S WATCHING?

Students, workers, farmers, elders and children the world over are demanding urgent climate action. Take a closer look at the faces on the flag and have your friends and family add theirs today. Together we can hold leaders accountable.
