OVO Foundation Nature Prize
OVO Foundation and Let’s Go Zero have teamed up for another three years to bring children and young people closer to nature and kickstart nature-based climate action.
The first three years of the partnership saw 75 schools install innovative and exciting projects, ranging from hydroponic food growing to beehive sites and rain gardens.
By inspiring climate action in these schools, the project has brought more than 35,000 students of all ages closer to nature. Many schools have reported lasting changes – greener spaces, new outdoor learning opportunities, and greater environmental
awareness across the whole school community.
The latest round of the OVO Foundation Nature Prize is open and will award 30 schools cash prizes of £500. For a chance to win, schools can submit their ideas for nature-based projects focused on one of three areas:
- Adaptation and Resilience
- Community
- Green Skills

The Nature Prize is an opportunity for schools to improve access to nature amongst their communities, equip young people with green skills, and build resilience to climate risks – all crucial steps in creating a sustainable future.
The competition closes on Monday, 17 November 2025.
