For the second year running, Unilever is inviting young entrepreneurs from around the globe who have innovative solutions to some of the world's biggest sustainability challenges to enter the Unilever Sustainable Living Young Entrepreneurs Awards.
Anyone aged 30 or under with ideas around scalable and sustainable products, services or applications that reduce environmental impacts, improve health and well-being or enhance livelihoods through changes in practices or behaviours is encouraged to take part.
In partnership with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), and in collaboration with Ashoka, the awards offer seven young people more than €200,000 in financial support and individually tailored mentoring. The overall winner also receives the prestigious HRH The Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize.
As a finalist, the seven chosen entrepreneurs will take part in an online development programme and then participate in a two-day accelerator workshop at Cambridge University, UK, where they will receive expert help and professional guidance to help them develop their ideas.
To enter the awards, visit Ashoka Changemakers. Applications must be submitted by midnight (BST) on 1 August 2014 and finalists will be announced in October 2014. The Cambridge accelerator workshop and final judging takes place in January 2015.
