What happens when nature becomes the main character, clean air becomes a mission, and storytelling becomes a way to inspire change? This is exactly what the AIRQUEST online story-writing contest achieved, bringing together creativity, environmental awareness, and the voices of young people.
A contest that celebrated imagination with a purpose
With a simple invitation, “Do you love writing stories?” we encouraged students to create original narratives that connected to clean air, nature, and the protection of the world around us. Participants were free to choose any style: realistic, fantasy, humorous, or magical, as long as their story carried a clear connection to the environment and highlighted why clean air is so important.
102 participants from different schools and cities
We are proud to share that the contest received 102 submissions from students representing different schools and cities. This number is far more than a statistic; it is proof that many young people think deeply about the future and are ready to express their values through creativity.
We received stories filled with imagination and meaning, featuring characters, places, and adventures that showed, in many different ways, why clean air matters and how each of us can be part of positive change.
Online ceremony and community celebration
On 24 November 2025, we hosted an online ceremony to announce the winners and celebrate all participants. The event was more than an awards moment; it was a celebration of young voices and environmental responsibility. In addition to the top three winners, many other students received encouragement prizes, and every participant will receive an electronic certificate of participation.
