GGN 20th Anniversary Contests Platform

3 competitions are organized by the GGN:

Contest 1: Earth Visual Odissey (open to all)
Contest 2: Stone’s stories (open to all)
Contest 3: The 5 senses of your Geopark (only for youth 12-18 years old)

Extended deadline for submissions until 31 March 2025

The winners will be nominated at the end of May 2025

The 3 contest are promoted through a specific new website: https://ggn20anniversary.com/

This site, designed for public access, offers comprehensive information necessary for the participation of the population within a geopark (including competition rules, FAQs, and application registration). It has been translated into 33 languages, accessible either through a drop-down menu  or via direct web addresses.  Please note that two languages, Swahili and Mapudugun, are only accessible through direct  web addresses as they could not be integrated into the drop-down menu.
