Applications are invited for The Iris Prize 2024 for Restoring Nature in Your Local Community. The last date of application is April 30, 2024.
The Iris Project is run in collaboration with Global Greengrants Fund, and has been established in memory of Iris Goldsmith, who died in a tragic accident aged 15. Iris had a deep and lifelong connection with the natural world, a gentle way with animals, and a particular love for the sea. In her memory, they are building a global community of young people working to protect and restore their local natural environment.
Are you aged 14-24? Do you have an idea or an established project protecting or restoring nature in your local community?
They will consider any project for the Iris Prize which supports our core principles, namely championing the protection and restoration of nature and the rights of those working to defend it. They recognise that nature restoration takes various forms – from traditional land stewardship to innovative technological solutions. As such, the Iris Prize will look to reward new ideas and established projects, hoping to overcome the circumstantial barriers that too often prevent young people from being able to advocate for nature-related change.
Interested participants can apply online via this link.
The last date of application is April 30, 2024.
