Topics
Within the contest we are looking for two target groups and topics:
1. Businesses: If you own or operate a business that has been in operation for at least six months, we invite you to share your journey and the lessons learned. Preference will be given to failures related to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) aspects, as we believe these insights hold tremendous value for the sustainable business community. Yet any other failure is welcomed as long as the story is emotional and lesson big.
2. Individuals: We also welcome individuals to share their personal stories regarding sustainability, with a particular emphasis on mental health experiences (other failures are welcomed also). Your authentic and relatable narratives can serve as a powerful tool for others who may be facing similar challenges.
