I. Event Background
The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) were introduced by the United Nations in 2015, comprising 17 goals that encompass environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Upholding its long-standing mission of giving back to society, cultivating young talent, and promoting cultural education, the Kaiji Yuhuang Temple is proud to host the “2026 Yuhuang Cup Cultural and Creative Eco-Friendly Design Competition,” aiming to inspire creativity among college and university students nationwide.
The theme of this competition is “Cultural and Creative Arts + Religious Culture + Eco-Friendly Design.” The core framework is aligned with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Centered on implementing the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), minimizing resource waste, and promoting Circular Design through the application of eco-friendly materials.
Supporting Focus: SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)
Aimed at preserving and passing on religious cultural heritage, developing cultural and creative designs with local characteristics, and enhancing cultural sustainability to help build inclusive, safe, and resilient cities and communities.
