RNG has once again pledged its support for Ekologiya—Delo Kazhdogo (Russian for Environment is Everybody's Business), a creative competition that invites children and young people from Russia and around the world to submit original work focused on protecting nature and wildlife, established by the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources Management. This time, the Company has sponsored its sixth season.
Submissions are open until 1 April 2026. Participants can enter individually or as part of a team, from Russia and abroad, with entries ranging from short films and animations to photography and illustrations. The competition features 13 individual and team categories, and the winners will be announced later next year.
Since its launch, the initiative has drawn more than 320,000 participants from 95 countries and across all regions of Russia—all united by a shared interest in the environment and animal protection.
More than 150 Russian universities offer successful entrants benefits such as extra application points or scholarship opportunities. Finalists are also awarded educational trips to national youth centres, including Orlyonok on the Black Sea, Okean on the Sea of Japan, and a research camp on Lake Baikal. Winning families receive holiday packages at Grand Hotel Zhemchuzhina in Sochi.
