Deadline: February 28, 2025

Applications are open for the Action for Nature International Young Eco-Hero Awards 2025. Action For Nature (AFN), a non-profit organization, created the International Young Eco-Hero Awards to recognize and reward the successful individual environmental initiatives of young people ages 8 to 16. AFN encourages young people around the world to carry out individual environmental action projects. They believe that young people can have a positive impact on the environment and are vital in changing the way we live on our planet.

Prizes

Winners will receive:

  • Public recognition and media press release
  • Cash prize up to $1,000
  • Certificate of Achievement for Outstanding Efforts to help protect and preserve the environment.
  • Exclusive access to the Eco-Hero Alumni Facebook Group.
  • Just as importantly, winners will serve as role models for other young people by demonstrating that each individual can make a difference.

Eligibility

Applicants

  • Applicants must be between 8 and 16 years old on February 28 of the application year.
  • Projects submitted as part of a Science Fair or Scouting Badge will only be considered if they include additional environmental action, educational outreach, or extended studies beyond the original scope.
  • Previous winners, immediate relatives of AFN board members, and active reading panel members or judges are not eligible to apply.

Project

  • The project must focus on environmental health, advocacy, research, or the protection of the natural world.
  • It should be action-based, self-initiated, and not an assignment from a teacher or other adult.
  • Projects must be at least 6 months in duration and either close to completion or completed within the last year.
  • For invention-based projects, applicants should have conducted trials prior to applying.

Judging Criteria

Preference is given to projects of 2+ years and/or ongoing projects.

The applications will be judged according to several criteria, including but not limited to:

  • originality
  • difficulty
  • organization
  • length of time devoted to the project
  • influencing/educating others
  • use of outside resources (e.g. library, experts, media, community leaders)
