The call for applications drew attention, not exclusively, to a number of particularly important areas:

  • New lifestyles: forms of social and environmental adaptation stimulated by the experience of the Covid19 pandemic
  • Lands of contrasts: places where a marked economic development is associated with the increase of environmental problems.
  • Big "signs" of climate change. Examples include: the anomalies of the Gulf Stream, the melting of ice and permafrost, the exceptional temperatures of the Arctic, an increasing number of extreme phenomena, the great fires in various areas of the planet.
  • International meetings and climate agreements: towards UN COP26 of November 2021
    "The Manifesto of Assisi": a map for an inclusive road towards a new world balance between humanity and the environment.
 

The initiative aims to stimulate the design and production of communication and artistic tools on the topic of climate change, enhancing a constructive or proactive approach in line with the deepening of the basic knowledge of the latest international reports on the subject.

Also this year, despite the pandemic, the competition has not had any setback, on the contrary it has seen an increasingly lively participation with more than 50 members and an increasing complexity and quality of the projects presented.
