The Observer Ethical Awards

Young Green Champions sponsored by Ecover

The Observer Ethical Awards in association with Ecover is calling on teachers, parents or youth group leaders to encourage their Young Green Champions to come forward with their world-saving ideas so they can help to make them happen with £6000* funding from Ecover;

Classmates, youth groups, friends (all under the age of 18) we’re looking for ideas so good they’ll make everyone around you leap in the air with joy. Perhaps you’re already saving the world (or at least your local community or school) through your brilliant recycling scheme or by rescuing wildlife or busting carbon footprints. What’s important is that you share your idea with us. The winner will receive £6000* funding to make their scheme really take off.  We’re also calling on teachers, parents or youth group leaders working with potential Young Green Champions. We know you put enormous effort into making these projects work and we want to reward you too. Nominate the project of the group you work with and encourage your Young Green Champions to enter and you could win a three night stay at Swallowtail Hill, Sussex with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars.

*The winning project receives £6,000 in three annual £2,000 installments.

Installments are paid subject to an annual project appraisal and agreed spending plan between the winner and Ecover.

Plenty of prestigious awards. Plenty of exciting prizes. So do your good deed for the day by finding out more and seeing how to enter here
