The search for the Winners of The Earthshot Prize 2025 has begun and SW/Niger Delta Forest Project (SWNDFP) is proud to be an Official Nominator. Launched in 2020, The Earthshot Prize is an ambitious global prize and platform for impact, designed to discover, celebrate and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet.
As an Official Nominator, we are one of hundreds of organisations from across the world, invited to submit nominations across all five Earthshot categories, selected for our ability to identify the most impactful solutions across all sectors, from grassroots to businesses.
We will be nominating individuals, communities, businesses and organisations whose solutions make the most progress towards achieving the five Earthshots will improve life for us all and for generations to come.
The Earthshot Prize (TEF) will consider solutions which make tangible progress towards one of the five Earthshots. They should be beyond idea stage, have tested their solution in-field or with target audiences, and are at a ‘tipping point’ for scaling their impact within the next five years.
The Earthshots are:
1. Protect and Restore Nature
2. Clean our Air
3. Revive our Oceans
4. Build a Waste-Free World
5. Fix our Climate

After nominations are submitted, they are screened as part of a rigorous assessment process culminating in the selection of five Winners by the Earthshot Prize Council. Finalists and Winners are given an incredible platform to amplify their work, as well as tailored support from The Earthshot Prize and our network of NGOs, businesses, governments, funders and expert mentors. The five Winners also receive a one-of-a-kind award and a one-million-pound grant to scale their impact.
