What Is The Earth Prize?
The Earth Prize is The Earth Foundation's free, global environmental sustainability competition for students ages 13 through 19 who are enrolled in a school or educational program. Participants develop a solution to an environmental problem, use the competition's learning platform and can obtain support through its mentorship community.
The currently documented competition structure allows an individual entry or a team of up to five students. Entrants submit a Fresh Idea; selected Earth Prize Scholars refine it into a Final Idea, and leading teams present to an adjudicating panel. The program advertises a $100,000 prize pool. In the completed 2026 cycle, seven Regional Winners each received $12,500 toward implementing their projects. Those 2026 amounts and dates should not be assumed unchanged for 2027 until new rules are published.
