As an Official Nominator, we are part of a global community invited to submit nominations, selected for our ability to identify the most impactful solutions across all sectors, worldwide.
We will be nominating individuals, communities, businesses and organisations whose solutions make the most progress towards achieving the five Earthshots – simple but ambitious goals which if achieved by 2030 will improve life for us all, for generations to come. The Earthshots are:
- Protect and Restore Nature
- Clean our Air
- Revive our Oceans
- Build a Waste-Free World
- Fix our Climate
The Earthshot Prize will consider solutions which make tangible progress towards one of the five Earthshots. They should be beyond idea stage, have tested their solution in-field or with target audiences, and are at a ‘tipping point’ for scaling their impact within the next five years. For more information about what The Earthshot Prize looks for in their nominees, please read the new 2023 Roadmap .
How to apply
If you have a solution that is inspiring, inclusive and impactful and would like the University of Bristol to consider nominating your work you are invited to send a one-page expression of interest (12 point font) explaining your solution and why it meets the expectations of the Earthshot Prize, to pa-pvcresearch@bristol.ac.uk by 5pm on Thursday 23 November 2023. Those selected by the University will be invited to work with us to develop the full nomination. You can find out more about The Earthshot Prize at www.earthshotprize.org.
After nominations are submitted, they are screened as part of a rigorous assessment process culminating in the selection of five winners by Prince William and the Earthshot Prize Council.
The Earthshot Prize awards one million pounds each to the 5 winners, and all 15 will enter The Earthshot Fellowship Programme for a year of dedicated support. Finalists and Winners are given an incredible platform to amplify their work, as well as tailored support from The Earthshot Prize and our network of NGOs, businesses, governments, funders and expert mentors.
