Every year since 2003, Action For Nature (AFN), a non-profit organisation based in the United States, has sought to recognise and reward young people who are taking action to solve the world's difficult environmental problems.

We are proud to honour the work of young people aged 8 to 16 around the world who have carried out creative environmental projects with a cash prize, certificate of achievement and public recognition.

JUDGE

Young people from countries all over the world send in their entries and explain their work. A panel of judges, including experts in environmental sciences, biology and education, then determines the year's best winners.

Our judges are experts in environmental sciences, biology and environmental health, who are looking for young people to follow in their footsteps.

We are proud of all our winners and all the candidates from around the world.

This is a great chance for you to share your environmental activism and creative work. We look forward to again supporting young people from all over the world who are working to save our planet.
