Yesterday, FCC internally judged the international Instagram photography competition ‘Do you watch or Take part?’, launched for the second consecutive year to mark SDG Week.

The aim of this awareness campaign was to encourage employees to commit to the Sustainable Development Goals through photography.

After counting the likes, the winners were announced:

• First prize: Jorge León Alonso, with his photograph ‘When the eternal meets the humble’. The image captures a street cleaner in the Sagrada Familia park in Barcelona. This cleaning service for parks and green areas is essential for keeping one of the busiest places in the city clean. This photograph is linked to SDG 6 ‘Clean Water and Sanitation’ and SDG 8 ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’.
• Second prize: Fabián Montalvo Buitrago, with ‘El cielo en la tierra’ (Heaven on Earth). This photograph captures the sunset in an urban space, seeking cohesion with nature and showing the contrast of architecture that transforms an industrial site into a cultural place. This image is linked to SDG 9 ‘Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure’ and SDG 11 ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’.
• Third prize: Lydia Fernández Estaire, with ‘El aliento de la tierra’ (The Breath of the Earth). This image reminds us that the Earth, in addition to challenging us with its power, offers solutions. The heat emanating from inside the volcano represents a source of renewable and clean energy, linked to SDG 7 ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’. At the same time, the volcano and its ecosystems represent the need to protect terrestrial life, reflected in SDG 15, ‘Life on Land,’ and its imposing presence urges us to act on the climate crisis, in line with SDG 13, ‘Climate Action.’

Thank you very much to everyone for participating!
