Closing Date: November 3, 2015.

Ashden rewards innovative enterprises and programmes that deliver, or play a key part in enabling the delivery of, renewable energy and energy efficiency at the local level, and through this bring social, economic and environmental benefits. In 2016 we will make six International Awards. The winners will receive prize funds of £20,000 each, and one Gold Award winner will receive a prize fund of £30,000.

As well as this cash fund, winning an Ashden Award brings many other benefits, such as:
§  National and international publicity, through the work of our specialist communications team.
§  A tailored business support programme to help you take your work further: this can include professional mentoring, sales and technical training and introductions to investment and grant finance.
§  A broadcast-quality short film of your award-winning work.
§  Opportunities to present your work to large and influential audiences at the Ashden Awards ceremony and conference.
§  Membership of the network of Ashden Award winners, who are all leading practitioners in sustainable energy.
§  The acclaim of winning a prestigious Ashden Award.

Who can apply for an Ashden International Award?
§  Businesses, NGOs, social enterprises and government organisations are all eligible.
