During the first stage of the contest, more than 120 projects were registered and almost 150 people participated, who headed their project individually or in a team of up to four members. Let the contest start! The response to the call was surprising, but the challenge was just beginning.
Each project had to go through different levels of review, depth and focus. Once this was carried out, specific information was requested from the 78 chosen projects. This as part of the requirements found in the terms and conditions of the contest, among the most important were: The executive summary of the project. The development of the project.

This last requirement was essential to prove that the project had the necessary permits and administrative procedures to be executed if it were a winner. Information Europe Cell Phone Number List was received from only 41 extremely interesting projects that addressed topics such as: environmental education, sustainable rain harvesting, protection of mangroves in the south of the country and the conservation of the coastal dunes of Yucatán, just to mention a few. After the review, the 6 best were chosen so that the jury appointed by Volkswagen could determine 2 finalists, who would compete through public voting, these were: “Biological and social strategies for the rescue and conservation of birds of prey” by students from BUAP, Puebla. “Conservation of the Altiplano axolotl in La Malinche National Park” by students from Universidad Iberoamericana campus Puebla, Universidad de las Américas campus Puebla and ITESO-Universidad Jesuita de Guadalajara. To select the lucky winner, voting was opened on the Por Amor a México website . The more votes, the more chances of winning! However, something unexpected happened: during this stage a bot attack was detected, so it was necessary to cancel the planned process and open new selection alternatives in the hands of Volkswagen Mexico and Expok, without losing sight of the transparency and clarity of the contest, as well as the requirements set forth in the terms and conditions.
Finally, the organizing committee made up of members of Volkswagen Mexico and Expok chose a winner.
