Green Window Shop Competition 2024
The GFSB has partnered with OTWO Magazine to invite local businesses to participate in our Green Window Shop Competition. This initiative celebrates World Environment Day, a global event dedicated to fostering unity and action for the protection and preservation of our planet for both current and future generations.
For the second year, we’re encouraging shop owners across Gibraltar to showcase their creativity and environmental consciousness by adorning their windows with green-themed displays. This is not only a fantastic opportunity to spread a positive message about our natural environment but also show your green credentials in a creative way.
Why Participate?
It’s a win-win situation! Not only do you get to contribute to a worthy cause, but your business also stands a chance to win some incredible prizes. Plus, it’s a great way to engage with the community and show your business’s commitment to sustainability.
How to Sign Up
Participation is straightforward and completely free. Simply fill out this easy form to register your interest: Registration Form.
Then, let your creativity flow and start designing your window display. Once you’re ready, send a photograph of your display to otwomagazine@gmail.com by Friday, 24th May.
What’s Next?
Judging will occur from the 27th to the 30th of May, with the public voting for their favourite displays. Winners will be announced at the EcoFestival event, scheduled for the 1st and 2nd of June 2024 at Europa Pool. We encourage participants to maintain their displays until after World Environment Day on the 5th of June to demonstrate our collective commitment to the environment.

In line with our green ethos, we encourage participants to adopt sustainable practices in their display designs.

Introducing natural elements and raw materials can also enhance the environmental theme of your display.
