Deadline: June 30, 2017
Unilever has observed that people are living in a world where temperatures are rising, water shortages are more frequent, food supplies are
increasingly scarce and the gap between rich and poor is
increasing. Populations are growing fast, making basic
hygiene and sanitation even more of a challenge.
Against this background, Unilever believe people can overcome these challenges and build a bright future for everyone, if people work together. But to do this,
the world needs a plan.
These Awards recognize 18 to 35
year olds who are putting ideas into action.
Why Unilever doing all this?
Unilever see a big opportunity: to support, inspire, reward and collaborate
with a new generation of the world’s most brilliant young
change makers; innovators who are the future of
sustainability. Imagine what we can achieve together.
Unilever is looking for innovative and scalable technologies or initiatives that are contributing to one or more of these four categories:
1. Farm to Table
2. Opportunities for Women
3. Waste
4. Water
Who can enter?
Anyone from around the world, aged between 18 and 35 (as of 30 June 2017), who is working on an initiative in one
of our four categories; Farm to Table, Opportunities for
Women, Waste and Water. Your initiative must have
already progressed beyond the idea stage and started
making an impact.
How to enter?
To submit your entry, you’ll need to create a profile HERE and
complete the application form. You’ll need to tell us all
about your initiative’s story so far, and your vision for its
future. The more you can share, the better.
About the prizes
The Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Awards will recognise
up to eight winners in 2017.
Two finalists in each of the
four categories will be selected from a video interview
process and invited to an Accelerator Programme in
Cambridge, where they will work with experts from the
Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, Unilever
and other guest experts.
A winner will be selected out of each of the four
categories. Those category winners will go forward to pitch
to a guest judging panel who will then decide on the
overall winner of the 2017 competition. The overall winner
will receive the ‘HRH The Prince of Wales Young
Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize.’
All will attend a special prize event hosted in London.
