The Fair Earth Foundation is offering the chance for young creative minds to be part of something bigger!
We are offering two prizes, The Creative Entrepreneurs fund and the Dare2Dream Prize.

The Creative Entrepreneurs Fund
We want you to grasp the opportunity of a lifetime and start-up that business you've always dreamed of. One inspirational entrepreneur will win £10,000 and mentor-ship to start up their own company with an environmental focus.
The Dare2Dream Prize
Turn your creative ideas into a reality with our Dare2Dream prize. We will facilitate one young creative mind to fulfil their idea. We will support one brilliant idea from the following categories:
- Film Making
- Photography
- Illustration
- Story Telling
- Graphic Design
- Music
- Poetry/ Spoken Word
We are especially interested in funding ideas that focus on specific themes, such as the impact of Coronavirus on everyday lives, environmental causes, art & nature, poverty, disadvantage, discrimination and human rights but any and all ideas are accepted.
For each Prize, five shortlisted entries will be shown at The London Eco Film Festival (part of the Fair Earth Foundation Family), held in March 2021, and the winner will be chosen at the festival by a panel of judges.
