Entries have opened for the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man Awards 2021.
The awards support the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man’s aim of ‘Working Together for a Sustainable Future’.
There are categories for Economy, Education, Energy, Enjoyment/Engagement and Environment.
Geoffrey Boot MHK, Minister for the Environment, Food and Agriculture, said: ‘As a UNESCO Biosphere, we strive to create a sustainable future for us all.There are projects and initiatives happening right across our community that help us to live and work sustainably and educate others to do the same.
‘Our awards offer these organisations and individuals the chance to share their successes and to encourage and inspire others. The awards will be a celebration of those contributing to a sustainable future in our Biosphere.’
It is free and easy to enter the awards. Entrants should give an overview of their project or initiative and detail what it is achieving.
The awards will be judged by a 12-strong panel from the public, private and third sectors. It will take into account entries’ innovation and impact.
