Earth Partner exists to harness the power of creative expression and visual storytelling to advance climate action through culture. The 2026 Earth Partner Prize is an open call designed to generate conversations around the urgent need for ecological justice, with a particular focus on youth voices.
Through the prize, participants have the opportunity to showcase their work in international forums and reach global climate leaders.
Funding
The finalists will be awarded cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000, or $2,000. An additional 20 creatives will receive honourable mentions, selected by a globally recognised panel of judges.
Scope and approach
The prize welcomes work in any medium, including photography, documentary and experimental film, performance art, app development, spoken word, musical compositions, dance, fashion design, new media, and social media projects.
Submissions should respond to and create conversations around the ecological crisis and the social roots and consequences of climate change.
