Congratulations Marble Arc
OTWO and the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) are delighted to announce that Marble Arc has been named the winner of the 2026 World Environment Day Shop Window Competition, marking an impressive second consecutive victory for the business following its success in 2025.
The competition, held annually as part of World Environment Day celebrations, continues to encourage businesses across Gibraltar to showcase their creativity while promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices. The initiative aims to demonstrate that sustainability can be integrated into all aspects of business, including visual merchandising, customer engagement, and everyday decision-making.
This year’s competition saw an exceptionally high standard of entries, with the three finalists being:
Marble Arc – Winner
The Cellar by Saccone & Speed
Lewis Stagnetto
OTWO and GFSB would like to congratulate all finalists and thank every participating business for their enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment to environmental sustainability. Since its inception, the World Environment Day Shop Window Competition has celebrated businesses that use their shopfronts as a platform to inspire environmental action and awareness within the community.
Previous winners include:
2023 – Trusted Novus Bank (the inaugural competition winner)
2024 – The Cellar by Saccone & Speed
2025 – Marble Arc
2026 – Marble Arc
The competition has grown into an important annual event that demonstrates how businesses can play a meaningful role in promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility. The purpose of the competition extends far beyond creating attractive displays. It serves as a reminder that environmental sustainability should remain at the forefront of decision-making across all sectors of society.
Whether designing a shop window, developing business policies, launching new products, or planning future growth, sustainability should be a key consideration. Through creative displays, businesses have the opportunity to engage the public, spark conversations, and inspire positive environmental action.
OTWO and GFSB firmly believe that creating a sustainable future requires collective effort from businesses, organisations, government bodies, and the wider community. The Shop Window Competition provides an accessible and engaging platform for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to these shared goals.
The World Environment Day Shop Window Competition is delivered through a successful partnership between OTWO and GFSB, combining their shared commitment to supporting local businesses while encouraging environmental responsibility throughout Gibraltar.
The competition remains free to enter, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can participate and contribute to raising awareness of sustainability issues within the community. In addition to the positive exposure associated with the competition, participants have the opportunity to win a range of valuable prizes.
OTWO and GFSB encourage all businesses in Main Street and beyond to take part in next year’s competition. Participation is completely free, provides excellent marketing opportunities, and offers businesses a chance to place sustainability at the centre of their public engagement efforts.
