Contest rules
1. Theme
Key words:...mine, lithium, scorched land, batteries, electric and „flying“ cars, profit,
displacement of people, „prosperity“, colonization...
When you are digging for lithium under fields and pastures, the next image is still life. The batteries you get as a
result will only suffice for one emergency call. The surrounding land will be empty, devastated, and the answer
will be – the user is not available or has cancelled …everything.
2. Contestants
The contest is open to all citizens of Serbia and beyond. Citizens of the World can participate, even aliens, people
living close to mines, owners of electric cars, even those using rickshaws, cell phone owners and those using
smoke signals. Owners of mines and miners, why not?
