The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2022.

The themes and genres of expression provided for submissions to be nominated remain very broad, but some non-binding thematic focuses are suggested in the call for submissions to which attention is drawn. The themes emphasize a connection with the most significant events of the historical period in which we are living.
The tenth anniversary of the initiative coincides with the year in which a new armed conflict between nations is taking place on the European continent, following the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The interrelationships between energy sources, economy, environment and global geopolitical balances are decisive.

    Planet of environment and humanity: nature, pandemics, wars
    The intergenerational relationship, between climate emergency and action.
    New collective or individual lifestyles: forms of social and environmental adaptation.
