It is the third year that RNG has acted as a sponsor of the project. Season IV was launched in October.
This year, over 80,000 applications have been received, featuring environmental protection and environmental friendliness promotion works. Over the period of its implementation, the project has seen a record fourteen-fold increase in its popularity. The project’s geographical coverage expanded to all Russian regions and 78 other states, including European, Asian, and African countries. The participants could apply for ten individual and two team categories.
The participants’ works were evaluated by a competent panel of judges, which included representatives of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources (Rosprirodnadzor), scientists, travelers, TV journalists, sportspeople, and artists.
Winners and awardees were given valuable prizes, package tours to the Black Sea, training courses, as well as were granted privileges for admission to over 100 Russian universities.
