The Youth Prize has grown! In its third year, the Youth in Permaculture Prize, now £10,000, is open to anyone 25-years-old and under. The main award is £5,000 with two runners up winning £2,500. Permaculture Magazine is delighted to bring the Youth in Permaculture Prize in-house, which for the last two years has been hosted by Abundant Earth Foundation.
In order to recognize and honor their talent and intelligence, this worldwide prize will spotlight young leaders who are dedicating their time to make the world a better place and create a future that provides for all. Projects which have the potential to “go viral,” with a multiplying effect, that can easily be replicated by others are of special interest. Real-world application of Permaculture Ethics and Principles will be considered in the evaluation of the applicants. Care for the Planet, People, and the Future are the Ethics and foundation of permaculture.
An international panel of young judges chooses projects based on the impact they will have on the environment, providing food, offering solutions to economic or social problems, or other means of creating a better future.
