Applications are open for the Earth Partner Prize 2026. The Earth Partner Prize seeks to amplify the call to environmental action by providing a platform where the voices of the next generation of concerned creatives can be seen and heard. Especially members of the global majority, who are often underrepresented, highlighting the unique ways in which they each view the perils of climate change, and its social roots and consequences.
