Announcing the Creative Green Awards 2020

We inaugurated the first Creative Green Awards in 2017 to recognise and honour the achievements of the creative community taking action on climate change. Four years later, still the only environmental awards designed specifically for the creative and cultural sector, we are excited to launch 2 new awards that will be open for public nominations – Best Campaign and Best Creative Programming (details below).
