What are you looking for?

The focus of the ECO Award is clearly on sustainability in all its facets. We are therefore looking for the best projects in the categories:

Environment
Social affairs
Innovation & Science

The projects should be in the planning stage or, ideally, already implemented. A selected jury of experts will choose the best projects in the three winning categories.

What is there to win?

You can win attractive prizes and consulting packages as well as cash prizes of

1,000€ for 1st place

750€ for 2nd place

500€ for 3rd place

All winners qualify for our coaching and mentoring program and participation in the ECO Project Camp.
Our cooperation and network partners provide active support.

How does the application work?

We will accept your applications until 31.12.2023 by e-mail to ze@pfh.de.

So that we can get an impression of your sustainable project, we need a brief description of the project (form) and a short video of max. 1-3 minutes (preferably via a cloud link) in which you introduce yourself and the project. Further documents can be attached.

All documents to be completed will be made available here at the start of the application period at the beginning of September.

How the competition works

With the ECO Prize competition, we want to make sustainable projects by young people with “impact” visible, recognize the commitment shown and creative ideas for a common sustainable future and actively support the creative minds in further implementation steps.
