The results have now been published of the Happy Leopard competition, which began on 3^rd November as social awareness project by IDEA (International Dialogue for Environmental Action).

Nearly fifty children took part in the event, and sent their entries in to IDEA with photographs of themselves in leopard costumes, and dressed as other big cats.

The jury for the competition had to choose the most inspired and artistic photographs, in order to select the competition winners. The winners received valuable prizes from IDEA.

The idea behind the competition was to popularise leopards – one of the big cats which is native to the Caucasus region – and to inspire young people to become more involved in care for the biodiversity of our world.
