The Earthshot Prize, a global environmental prize to discover, accelerate and scale novel solutions to repair and regenerate the planet, has begun its 2023 search for solutions to the globe’s biggest environmental challenges.
Broadcaster MultiChoice, which is the official African broadcast partner for the competition and a member of the Earthshot Prize Global Alliance, has issued a call for entries from African organisations, businesses, governments and individuals who are involved in scalable and impactful work in this capacity.
Potential nominees can enter into any of the five categories of the Earthshot Prize. These categories are: Protect and Restore Nature; Clean Our Air; Revive Our Oceans; Build a Waste-Free World; and Fix Our Climate.
The prize is awarded yearly to five winners, who each receive a R20-million grant to scale their projects.
Each year, the Earthshot Prize launches a global search for breakthrough solutions, with a global network of more than 350 nominating individuals and organisations from 66 countries tasked with ushering the process through.
As an official nominator, MultiChoice has established an official entry portal at https://www.multichoice.com/earthshot/africa-nominations-23.
All submissions need to be submitted by January 27. Representatives from MultiChoice will review the entries and officially nominate selections directly to the Earthshot Prize.
