‘Earthpreneurs vs. Plastics’ is this year’s YEA topic. It resonates with the global Earth Day 2024 theme – ‘Planet vs. Plastics’. The theme calls upon the reduction of plastic production, the development of bio-degradeable alternatives to plastics, managing waste plastic, and widening and deepning awareness about the negatives of plastics.

The Young Earthpreneurs Awards (YEA) is open to university/college students and recent South Asian graduates who have innovative ideas to address environmental challenges.

The last date for receiving applications is August 21, 2024 (World Entrepreneurs Day).
