Rotary Portugal — End Plastic Soup

Song Contest

Open to all ages, divided into two categories, this contest invites everyone to put their creativity at the service of the ocean. Eco-Escolas will manage the rules and coordinate the entire event.

Applications are submitted in video format (3 minutes maximum) and will be evaluated by representatives of ABAAE, APA, and Got Talent Portugal (to be confirmed). Detailed participation rules, as well as registrations, will be communicated starting September 15, 2026.

The top three places in each category will be rewarded, and the winning videos may be highlighted through partner media and social networks — a great opportunity to showcase the voice of youth in the service of ocean protection.

From the Açores to the World: Our Song Now in 3 More Languages

We're deeply grateful to the brilliant students of Colégio do Castanheiro, Ponta Delgada (Açores), who wrote and produced this beautiful original song. To help their message travel further across our Mediterranean campaign, we've created AI-assisted versions in Spanish, Italian, and English.

Because children already understand what's at stake — and what must be done.
