Finalists: Portugal
Finalists: Worldwide

Raise awareness with fun and creativity and win prizes!

Everyone was invited between 16th – 24th of September to clean wherever they are, it didn’t matter if it was a beach, river, city or on a mountain. Cleaning the world is not possible, if we do not tackle root causes such as more awareness about littering or single use packaging. Therefore, we clean to raise awareness after The Trash Traveler moto “with fun and creativity” and emphasize the need for reusing and refilling what we already own. The collected trash was supposed to be placed together to an art piece and upload a picture on our platform.

Disclaimer: Everyone was winner! We do not host this challenge to compete, but to bring more importance to raising awareness as a collective. Everyone’s a winner for the planet and, fortunately, art is subjective!
