Established Award

For groups or organisations that demonstrate successful and inspirational work over more than 5 years.

This prize is for established community groups, organisations, networks and businesses that can demonstrate successful and inspirational work over more than 5 years. We hope for prize money to spread the word of their work to inspire more people to get involved with the regenerative movement.

There are at least two prizes in this category, with each being awarded up to £25,000. We aim to award one prize to a small scale project in this category.

Nominations for the 2021 Prize are now closed.

A shortlist will be announced in July, and the winners will be announced in October.

Eligibility guidelines

We accept applications from anywhere in the world.

Lush, the company funding the Spring Prize, is a vegetarian company. As such, money awarded will not be channelled towards the direct slaughter or ill-treatment of animals.
We will not fund organisations or projects involved in animal testing.
We will not fund organisations or projects involved in destructive environmental and social practices.
Although organisations farming animals will not be excluded, priority will be given to organisations which encourage alternatives to animal consumption.
Any project which does not quite fit these eligibility guidelines is welcome to apply if they feel they can provide a strong argument for why we should consider them.
Organisations may only submit an application to one category.
No organisation will receive a prize two years in a row.
Prizes are for ongoing work (not as a reward for past work).
If offered a prize, recipients must:
1. attend the awards ceremony, unless there are exceptional circumstances (all expenses will be paid).
2. prepare information on the winning project for the awards event.
3. fill in an evaluation form 10 months from the award being given.
4. support the PR and outreach activity for the prize.
Ethical Consumer Research Association (a partner in the LUSH Spring Prize) will conduct due diligence research on nominated individuals and organisations prior to recommending initiatives for awards. It would be helpful if applicants flag up any potential concerns in advance.
Other unanticipated ethical concerns will be considered on a case by case basis.
