VIDEO CONTEST ON
CLIMATE CHANGE

Close the tap is a video competition, free to charge and open to everyone, with several awards to be won and dedicated to the climate, whose aim is to increase awareness on this topic and foster the action towards a climate transition.

Why Close the tap?

Science informs us of the still too large “gap” between what we should be doing and what the whole world is doing to face an unprecedented global challenge. Meanwhile, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions keep accumulating in the atmosphere every year as if they were produced by a tap that continues inexorably to fill a bathtub. But the water is getting closer and closer to the edge of the bathtub and it is essential to reverse this course, starting to close the tap as soon as possible. The idea of ​​the Close the tap competition promoted by Aequilibria S.r.l. – SB arises from this concept.

We know how necessary it is to promote the action of both individuals and global society, and visual art plays a great role in supporting the necessary change.
