Open call to participate in the Festival Ascenso 2022

Contributing to the strengthening of activities dedicated to the environment, tourism and sports, this year the XVIII edition of the Ascenso Festival will be held, whose call to send videos and photographs is open until September 15.

The event will maintain the presentation of its usual categories: land, water, air, environment and social awareness. They will include video projections, awards ceremony, photographic exhibition, sponsor product raffles, talks and conferences. Likewise, the successful Expo Ascenso will return to promote the culture of adventure, travel and tourism in Venezuela.

“Ascenso is one of the film festivals with the longest history in Venezuela and, on this occasion, it will connect with its audience through stories that narrate experiences and adventures lived in nature and the most recent challenges of Venezuelans. From our field we want to contribute to this challenging future that lies ahead, positioning ourselves through experiences in the ideal platform to spread this healthy encounter between man and nature,” said its director, Orlando Corona, who thanked Bancamiga for its support to promote this initiative.

18 years after its first edition, there have been many stories shared from the community of adventurers, athletes and nature lovers, and enjoyed by a wide audience of all ages, in numerous events that have promoted audiovisual culture as a tool to spread experiences and learning in the relationship between man and nature.

This year, tribute will be paid to the Proyecto Cumbre as a pioneer of expeditions to the world’s great mountains, and will feature the participation of Venezuelan Raúl Biocchi, who recently climbed the Everest, once again carrying the national tricolor to the top of the world.

The event will be held at the Chacao Cultural Center from October 19 to 22 and those interested in participating can visit www.ascensoaventura.com.
