The Earth Prize, run by Swiss NGO The Earth Foundation, is a global environmental sustainability competition for students aged roughly 13–19 (born 2007–2014), entered individually or in teams of up to five; it is not agriculture-specific, but agri-environmental ideas (e.g., water, waste, sustainable materials) are eligible. Teams submit a validation-first "Blueprint" for an environmental solution, and seven Regional Winners — one per world region, including Africa — each receive $10,000 to implement their project from a total 2027 prize pool of $104,500. Participation is free; registration closes 10 January 2027 and Blueprint submissions close 31 January 2027.
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis against the criteria below. SAIGE captures your intent to apply — linking this opportunity to your business profile — before handing you off to The Earth Foundation’s official application. This keeps your activity in one place and helps us surface better matches over time.
