"As part of our eco-art program in June of this year we will again organize a competition to create a poster related to the environment, all creative minds from all over the region will be able to apply, and the best works will be presented at the two-week open-air exhibition in Sibenik, which will be switched to the festival site during the festival" said spokesman for the festival, Luka Pavic 

Within the social responsibility program, Terraneo will again hire a certain number of unemployed persons, persons with disabilities and recovering addicts at the festival. This practice, which began last year, is aimed at people whose daily life is difficult, enabling them at least temporary employment and experience to help them in the process of easier integration into the community and society.
