Earth Partner Prize 2026 is an international open call created by Earth Partner, Art Partner’s sustainability division, to spark creative conversations around ecological justice and climate action. The 2026 edition is presented in collaboration with the Global Environment Facility and Re:wild.
The competition invites artists and creatives to respond to the ecological crisis through a wide range of media, including photography, documentary and experimental film, performance art, spoken word, music, dance, fashion design, app development, new media, and social media projects.
Submissions may explore themes such as climate justice, corporate greenwashing, Indigenous rights, material innovation, wildlife and ecosystem conservation, grassroots activism, intersectional environmentalism, regeneration, the physical and mental impacts of the climate crisis, and nature-based wisdom. The prize is designed to amplify young creative voices and connect climate-focused work with wider cultural and environmental audiences.
Entry fee: Free to enter.
Eligibility
Open to artists and creatives worldwide of all nationalities, races, genders and faiths, aged 14 to 30 as of October 7, 2026, with submissions in any medium that comment on the ecological crisis; AI-assisted work is accepted only when disclosed and used as an artistic tool rather than a generative replacement.
Prize
Eight finalists will receive cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000 or $2,000, and 20 additional creatives will receive honourable mentions selected by the jury; finalists and honourable mentions will have their work showcased on Art Partner and Earth Partner platforms and featured through Art Partner and Earth Partner social channels.
