Overview

The 7th annual Earth Partner Prize (formerly #CreateCOP) invites artists of all nationalities, races, genders, and faiths, aged 14 to 30, to submit work that comments on the ecological crisis. Eight finalists will be awarded cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000 or $2,000. An additional 20 creatives will receive honourable mentions by a globally recognised panel of judges.

Earth Partner exists to harness the power of creative expression and captivating visual storytelling to advance climate action through culture.

Practical Info

Applicants can apply with any medium, including, but not limited to, photography projects, docu-style and experimental film, performance art, spoken word, musical compositions, dance, fashion design, new media, app development, and social media projects. AI-assisted work is accepted. However, you must disclose any use of AI tools (even partial) in your project description and include a brief reflection on how you weighed their environmental cost against their creative benefits. 

Your submission should be your own personal interpretation of the ecological crisis, however participants might explore themes such as: climate justice, corporate greenwashing, Indigenous rights, material innovation, wildlife and ecosystem conservation, grassroots activism, intersectional environmentalism, regeneration, the physical and mental impacts of the climate crisis, and nature-based wisdom.
