African innovators will have the opportunity to pitch their solutions, inspire other corporates to join the fight against climate change and motivate governments to prioritise climate change as part of their national agendas. The Prize is awarded annually to five winners, each receiving a R20 million (£1 million) prize grant to scale their projects. The Earthshot Prize Global Alliance will also provide professional and technical support to scale the winning projects.

The Earthshot Prize was first launched in 2021, with three African organizations were selected as finalists, namely, Sanergy (from Kenya), Reeddi Capsules (from Nigeria) and Pole Pole Foundation (from the Democratic Republic of Congo). In 2022, the prize was awarded to Mukuru Clean Stoves, a start-up providing cleaner-burning stoves to women in Kenya to reduce unhealthy indoor pollution and provide a safer way to cook.

If you have a worthy intervention whose solution makes significant progress towards achieving any of the five Earthshots, MultiChoice urges you to send in your nomination and be part of the solution. The official entry portal https://www.multichoice.com/earthshot/africa-nominations-23 is open until January 27, 2023.
