CLOSE THE TAP IS A VIDEO CONTEST SET UP IN 2021, FREE AND OPEN TO ALL, AND DEDICATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

We launched this competition to make as many people as possible aware of the unprecedented global challenge that global change is placing before us, and about which the science already tells us that there is still too big a "gap" between what we should be doing and what the world is doing to address it.
In the meantime, GHG emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere every year, a sort of bathtub that inexorably continues to fill up, as if a faucet were left running. But the water is getting closer and closer to the edge of the bathtub and it is imperative to reverse this course, starting as soon as possible to turn off the tap, before it is too late.

Hence the idea of the Close the Tap competition.

The concept assigned for the 2024 edition is:

"ENERGY:PRODUCE IT BETTER OR CONSUME LESS. IS THIS THE DILEMMA?"

The candidate can freely interpret this concept in terms of communication, while guaranteeing the scientific solidity of the contents.
Each work can be processed according to a Live action video or Animated video technique. The selection of the type of technique and style to be adopted is a free choice of the author.

Cash awards are dedicated for the 3 most engaging videos.
- 1° prize 1.500€;
- 2° prize 600€;
- 3° prize 400€.

It will also be possible to set up an independent Special Jury Prize worth € 400.

The contest is open to two categories: live action videos and animated videos.
