The ClieNFarms Video Contest invites you to share a video that shows significant behavioural changes in your life, community or farming practices that contribute to a future of climate neutrality and climate resilience in Europe. This is your chance to inspire others and make a difference!
What should the theme of the videos be?
The competition is looking for inspiring, creative and stimulating videos that demonstrate changes in behaviour with positive environmental impacts.
Below are some of the themes that can be explored in the videos:
- Climate resilient agriculture – innovations and practices that reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability in agriculture.
- Biodiversity and wildlife – efforts to protect and enhance ecosystems and species.
- Cultural and social change – the cultural, social and community impact of sustainable practices.
- Education and awareness initiatives – teaching or raising awareness of sustainable behaviour and its benefits.
- Overcoming Challenges – stories of resilience and action in response to climate and environmental threats.
- Sustainable Consumer Choices – how individuals and communities are adopting sustainable habits in everyday life, such as reducing waste, choosing eco-friendly products, or promoting circular economy practices.
Your video can reflect personal, community, or professional efforts. It can be as creative, emotional, or informative as you choose, as long as it aligns with the themes of behavioural change for a better planet.
Who can take part in the competition?
Anyone over the age of 18 can take part in the video competition, as long as they do not work directly for the ClieNFarms project. Friends, family members or colleagues of ClieNFarms project members, even if they are employees of institutions, companies, associations or universities that are partners of the ClieNFarms project, as well as other interested parties or other members of the public, can take part.

- The aesthetic and creative value of the video, i.e. the visual and emotional appeal it creates with the viewer;
- Clear and impactful storyline, authenticity, emotion, memorable title and description.
The winning videos will be edited before publication to contain the project and funding logos and the project’s disclaimers.
