Art Partner has launched the 2025 Earth Partner Prize, a global competition inspiring young people to take meaningful action against the climate crisis. The submission period runs from June 11 to October 10 (closing at 23:59 CET).
Young creatives aged 14 to 30, from all backgrounds, are invited to submit original work addressing environmental and social issues. Entries can take many forms—visual storytelling, film, performance, poetry, music, fashion innovation, digital tools, choreography, multimedia, or social media campaigns.
Possible themes include species extinction, environmental justice, corporate misinformation, Indigenous knowledge, sustainable materials, ecosystem protection, plastic waste, grassroots activism, recycling, climate anxiety, economic systems, and traditional ecological wisdom.
Eight winners will receive cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000, or $2,000. Twenty more participants will earn special recognition from an international jury, announced later this summer.
All finalists and honorable mentions will have their work featured in an online showcase on artpartner.com and earthpartner.com, promoted across Art Partner’s social media. Selected projects may also be included in future Earth Partner Exhibitions—a traveling showcase previously displayed at the UN Headquarters in New York, Fotografiska Shanghai during Climate Week, and Photo London 2024, with an upcoming show at Borgo Laudato Si’ in Vatican City during the 2025 Jubilee.
The Earth Partner Prize aims to amplify young voices, especially from underrepresented communities, by providing a global platform for environmental dialogue.
