There are MANY environmental prizes and awards all over the world, the difference with @EarthshotPrize is that:

It will focus on 5 key areas

There will be 5 winners per year

Winners can be chosen from any and all sectors, a whole organisation to a 15 year old girl

Earthshot is supported by a Global Alliance of an UNPRECEDENTED network.

It has the support of partners like @TEDCountdown, @NatGeo, @Greenpeace, @wwf_uk etc.

It will give 5 winners £1m EACH per year, much more than any other awards

It is a decade long project

Winners will receive support to develop and implement their ideas with the investment

Runners up will still receive the support to build on their work

Earthshot aims to find solutions, not just Award those that are already out there.
