Permaculture Magazine has announced that it will now award a total of £30,000 as part of its annual prize due to the "faith and generosity" of an anonymous donor. There are two weeks until entries close.

All the money for the PM Prize goes direct to the chosen projects, so the money is reaching the right people and places around the world.

With a fund of £30,000 the Permaculture Magazine Prize, in its second year, aims to directly help transform communities and regenerate habitats and it will be judged by a "prestigious panel of international judges".

Abundant Earth

The prize will consist of one main award of £10,000, a second runner-up prize of £5,000 and four runners up of £2,500. The prize is open to any permaculture project in the world.

The closing date for entries is 31 May 2019, 23:59 GMT and is also open to those who applied last year.

A £5,000 Youth in Permaculture Prize is also available in collaboration with Abundant Earth Foundation with £3,000 available for the main award and two runners up of £1,000. This prize is open to anyone under 25 years of age.

All winners will be announced in the pages of PM102, published 31 October 2019 and will be featured in following issues.
