Impact Entrepreneur is honored to again be an Official Nominator for The 2025 Earthshot Prize, the largest environmental innovation prize in the world.

In 2023 & 2024, Impact Entrepreneur nominated 10% of the finalists (out of 5000+ nominations from over 400 nominating organizations), and 30% of the finalists in the Fix Our Climate category! 

Applications for nomination for the 2025 Prize are NOW CLOSED.

The deadline for applications to Impact Entrepreneur was November 15, 2024. If you have missed our deadline, consider applying through another Official Nominating Organization.

About the Earthshot Prize

The Earthshot Prize was designed to find and grow the solutions that will repair our planet this decade. We face our greatest challenge; to regenerate the place we all call home in the next ten years.

We believe in the power of human ingenuity to prove to us all that the seemingly impossible is possible.

All interested parties should review the following document closely so as to understand the criteria and make an informed judgement as to whether you should apply:

Impact Entrepreneur’s Application Review Process

Given the fact the Impact Entrepreneur runs the largest global network of transformation-minded entrepreneurs, investors, and scholars, and based on our experience as an Official Nominator for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Prizes, we expect a significant number of applications. In order to properly review each application, we set our deadline for receiving applications as November 15, 2024 (the official nomination submission deadline to Earthshot is December 11, 2024 so this gives our committee the necessary time to review the applications received).

IE’s Application Deadline Has Passed

Our Evaluation Committee is made up of members of our staff, team of global correspondents, and advisory board. While the Committee has been given no limit as to the number of applications it can nominate, the review process is rigorous and it is anticipated that only a modest number of applications will be chosen for official nomination.

Important heads up — our application form, which includes the same fields as the formal nomination form used to submit an official nomination, is rather extensive. We urge you to take your time with it and make sure to put your best foot forward (as you might expect, the Prize competition is extremely competitive).
