LUSH Spring Prize 2023 Awards
73 projects from around the world were shortlisted for the Lush Spring Prize for environmental and social regeneration.
Recipients were announced as part of a celebratory in-person event held in Berlin, Germany in May. This was the first time the event has been held outside of the UK, with prize recipients, judges, Lush staff, press and other guests. At least 14 different countries and five continents were represented.
A total of £236,000 was awarded to 17 groups, celebrating the efforts of regenerative practitioners across the globe. More than £1 million has now been awarded through the Spring Prize since its inception in 2017.
The ceremony was hosted by Mona Bani and Fisayo Fadahunsi from Untelevised Media and Aja Barber.
