The Young Climate Prize award and mentorship program is now accepting applications for their second cycle. The prize was created by The World Around, a nonprofit organization based in New York, to support a new wave of designers and activists who were born into a world struggling with climate change, and who have the ability to tackle it creatively.
The program will pair 25 people under the age of 25 with Design Champions, a group of internationally renowned architects, urbanists, and designers, who will act as their mentors. Each mentee will have at least three hour-long sessions with their mentor to enhance their projects, brainstorm new ideas, and gain inspiration from a supportive expert.
The cohort will take part in a “Design Academy” where weekend virtual workshops will cover topics ranging from fundraising and marketing to graphic design, communications, and film-making. These workshops will also be an opportunity for the cohort members to connect and collaborate with each other.
Benefits
- The competition will select 25 individuals under the age of 25 to receive mentorship, and three of them will be awarded a trip to New York to showcase their work at the esteemed Annual Summit of The World Around in 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
- Anyone aged between 13 and 25, who have utilized design, architecture, technology, as well as creative and cultural skills to combat the climate crisis, can participate.
- Participants can be from any location worldwide.
Application Process
All individuals have access to applications and computer programs for free. You can easily upload a two-minute video detailing your self-initiated climate-focused project and provide your personal information. This is your chance to share your message and ideas with others.
