The Hungarian Climate advocates’ team won three medals (two gold and one bronze) in all categories of the competition organised by a Hungarian non-profit organisation to raise awareness about climate change. This was the first event of such kind in Hungary and was also well accepted by the public.

They won the first prize in the category of scale-modelling in which they had to make an installation that expresses important climate issues and in the category of team photo competition. They won a third prize in the climate song category for the song they wrote and also performed.

The advocates thought participating in the competition was very important for them not just as a contribution to awareness-raising campaigns but also to participate at side events organised for the occasion on which many different interest groups presented their work and ideas. That was also a good opportunity for them to network with other groups and organisations interested in climate change.
