#GreenVibesAward winners
The 2022 theme is Growing Green Cities, focusing on sustainable developments in food, energy, green and health. We will do this under the banner #GreenVibes. Entrepreneurs who have greened their business in any way during the period May to September 2022 (and showed it via social media), competed for the #GreenVibesAward. There are five monthly winners in total, from which one overall winner was chosen during Visit Flevoland' s leisure conference.
Month winners

Month winner May
The first monthly winner of the #GreenVibesAward is Bed &Breakfast Open Doors in Almere-Stad. There, a room was completely decked out with the stickers, pennant and flag from the #GreenVibes toolkit. Open Doors is pursuing sustainability in many areas, just like Floriade Expo 2022.

June monthly winner
The second monthly winner of the #GreenVibesAward is MS Waddenzee. Since the introduction of the #GreenVibes toolkit, we cannot ignore all the photos and videos on various social media of ships with the colourful flag in the mast and the green pennant on the bow.

Monthly winner July
The third monthly winner of the #GreenVibesAward is ZWAAN Buitenensport in Dronten. There, the #GreenVibes flag was raised at the top of the mobile climbing boom. This climbing boom is made of waste, a sustainable choice that fits perfectly with the theme of Floriade Expo 2022.

Month winner August
The fourth monthly winner of the #GreenVibesAward is Fiederels MTB campsite in Bant. Here, solar panels and solar tubes are used for light and heating, local organic food is grown and you can enjoy mountain biking, also very sustainable of course.

September monthly winner
The fifth monthly winner of the #GreenVibesAward is Camping Waterhout in Almere. This campsite is gas-free and is powered by solar panels and heat pumps. In addition, the vegetation is as natural as possible and cleaning is done with environmentally friendly means.
And the winner is ....
On Monday 7 November, the overall winner of the #GreenVibesAward was announced at Visit Flevoland's annual leisure conference: B&B Open Doors. Owner Milly Breton van Groll was presented with no fewer than two prizes by delegate Jop Fackeldey: a cheque worth €5,000 for a sustainability investment in her B&B and a unique work of art created by Joost Garritsen, himself winner of the Art Challenge for secondary school pupils earlier this year.
Criteria on the basis of which B&B Open Doors won included the extent to which the toolkit provided by Visit Flevoland was used to put the site in #GreenVibes atmospheres, the diversity of sustainability measures taken and the extent to which these were consistently implemented in the business operations, how the investments in sustainability relate to the size of the business and the extent to which guests/customers are informed about and involved in sustainable recreation.
How could you participate?
How did these monthly winners put themselves in the spotlight? Well, by following the following instructions: get your business all green with the items from the toolkit and, in addition, be as creative and green as possible and then post photos of your green-dressed business on Instagram, Facebook and/or LinkedIn with the hashtag #GreenVibes and tag @VisitFlevoland.
Winners
A monthly winner was chosen every month from May to September. After Floriade Expo 2022, an overall winner was chosen from all the monthly winners based on the criteria mentioned above.
