The Environmental Award for Children and Adolescents awarded by the City of Jena
.
Since 1997, we have awarded the Environmental Award every year together with the City of Jena to honor exceptional commitment by private individuals, associations and initiatives in the area of nature and environmental protection. Since 2018, we have been awarding the Environmental Award, which is endowed with 1,500€ prize money, specifically to children and adolescents. The award ceremony takes place during the Environment Day in Jena.
Awarding of the 6th Environmental Award for Children and Adolescents
Together with the City of Jena, we will award the 6th Environmental Award for Children and Adolescents in 2023. This year's topic is all about a very special substance, namely one that is simultaneously a foodstuff, a travelway but also a habitat and solvent: water.
Under the motto "Water is valuable", we want to draw attention to the great importance of water for nature and humans.
- The entry deadline for the project is the 19.04.2023.
- On the website of the city, you can find more information on the background, on how to take action and on the application procedure.
