Welcome to The World Around Young Climate Prize!

Applications are open for the second cycle of The Young Climate Prize award and mentorship program. The prize was conceived by New York-based nonprofit organizationThe World Around to support the generation of designers and activists who were born into the climate crisis and uniquely positioned to address it. The prize pairs young change-makers with mentors in the international design community who can accelerate the impact of their work and connect them with a global network of like-minded people. 25 finalists will win a life-changing mentorship, and three winners will be flown to New York City to share their work and ideas at The World Around’s prestigious Annual Summit in 2025.

Anyone aged 13-25 can submit their work and we encourage young people from anywhere in the world to share their climate projects. Applications and program are free for all. Simply upload a two-minute video explaining your self-initiated, climate-focused project and add your info. It's your turn, your voice!
