The 2025 edition of the competition focused in particular, though not exclusively, on certain thematic aspects:

- Intergenerational relations, between the real climate emergency and insufficient government policies
- Women's fulfilment between the climate and social crises. The relationship between gender equality and environmental policies
- New collective or individual lifestyles: forms of social and environmental adaptation
- Northern Italy of contrasts, from economic leadership to climate hot spot in the Po Valley, Alpine and coastal areas
- Venice as an environmental/cultural laboratory city or uncontrolled speculative drift
- European continent: the rapid rise in temperatures compared to the global average

Furthermore, the central themes of this edition were the relationship between climate-changing emissions and food, sustainable finance investments, the use of shop windows as spaces for ecological promotion, criticism of the mass media world, and the aesthetic representation of a symbiotic relationship with endangered ice formations.

Several collective projects by Venetian associations and professionals were also presented.
