Maintheme 2022 : The afterlife
These last years in which a corona virus and a new war sows death and destruction, it may be appropriate to pause for a moment and consider the belief or disbelief in an afterlife. 
Archaeologists were able to show that Neanderthals before us already harboured the idea of an afterlife and they ritually prepared their dead for the journey. 
The ancient Egyptians made every effort during their lifetime to achieve eternal bliss in Amenti and developed mummification and at least seven concepts of spiritual qualities associated with being human. 
During the Middle Ages death was common due to plagues and wars. Indulgences, pilgrimages and much praying could help increase your chances, possibly after simmering for a while in purgatory, to feast on rice pudding with golden spoons between angels and saints... 
In Hellas, the gods resembled muscular brats, quickly displeased supermen and super women. All of it the opposite of what the Asian Buddha promoted as the path to detachment , reincarnation and Nirvana. 
Heaven, Paradise, Nirvana, Eternal Hunting Grounds, Amenti, Valhalla are all man-made places for the mystery that awaits us and gives hope to the faithful. At best, that belief is a reason to comply ethical rules that enable us to live together without major calamities. This is more than necessary, by the way, given the overpopulation and the shrinking carrying capacity of our beautiful planet.

Without a doubt, the years from 2020 are already part of the history books. The world has gone - and is going - through a difficult and important moment, which directly reflects on consumption habits. The Covid-19 pandemic has arrived and completely changed the way to consume. The concept of shopping with a preference for digital channels has become a reality, and the world has started to shop online, many for the first time. Social isolation and the home office were accompanied by the habit of thinking and researching very well about the items that are necessary to live with maximum quality and comfort at home. At the same time, impulse purchases increased as people looked for something to emotionally fulfill them in a context of chaos and uncertainty. 
Consumers increasingly digital 
Even living in the information age, not all jobs and studies were in digital format before Covid-19. With social isolation, people started to live the experience of studying and working at home, through various platforms that help in communication, which has been strengthening and strengthening the relationship with the digital world. In this scenario with reduced possibilities on the one hand, consumers find alternatives on the other. The option was to better understand the virtual shopping environment, starting to trust more in the security of their payments and delivery times, for example. In addition, entertainment applications and platforms needed to innovate their technologies and forms of content production to meet new expectations of a more digitally active population – as well as commerce companies in general, which needed to adapt the physical environment to the online one. 
This is a trend that will remain and create hybrid paths. In the new context, companies intend to keep working from home in an integral way, as well as courses, medical care and other services. In addition, the comfort of shopping without leaving home must continue with great force. 
The news changes daily, which means that not everything is known about the “new normal” quickly. But the fact is that, with the rise of this type of sales and changes in consumption habits, the relationship between consumers and companies has changed forever. Welcome to new consumption habits in the digital world. 
h) In addition to the prizes for the categories, special prizes may be awarded, offered by our supporters, during the registration and selection process. 
i) Along the registered artwork, the artist must attach a complete registration form with legibly writing. lt is also requested reduced curriculum and photo, for registration in the CEDHU's data base. To make sure your work is original, it is suggested to the artist to check on specialized websites if there is no match of image, text and / or situation of your work with another already published in newspapers, magazines or websites. If there is confirmation of plagiarism the work will be automatically disqualified.
