The creator of the image chosen by the public will receive an iPhone 8.
"The competition initially included 31 images, but the board of curators decided to select one more given the quality of the participating images. It's important that the competition managed to further disseminate the concept of sustainability, which goes far beyond the environment," noted CEBDS president Marina Grossi.
The idea for the competition came about with the intention of awakening and broadening Brazilians' view of environmental and social issues, such as climate, urban mobility, gender equality, diversity, water, conscious consumption, etc. A good tip for inspiration on the theme is to consult the UN's 2030 Agenda, made up of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
