The new Influence Award will go to someone who has lobbied or campaigned to influence policy or public opinion in support of regeneration
Regeneration is key to moving livelihoods and economies towards a more sustainable future and to reviving damaged environments by putting back more than what's taken out.
The Lush Spring Prize aims to support a shift towards doing things differently by affording more people both the resources and the opportunity to do so.
The Lush Spring Prize will award funds annually to those who are engaging in the process of regeneration in the following four categories:
- Intentional Projects (£50,000) ... backing for great ideas in the early stages
- Young Projects (£75,000) ... projects 1- 5 years old seeking to grow
- Established Projects (£50,000) ... beacons demonstrating success and withstanding the test of time
- Influence Award (£25,000) ... lobbying or campaigning to influence policy or public opinion in support of regeneration.
