Evolutionary competition

In addition to the prestige and honour of earning an Eco-Logic Award and all the media attention that this brings, the winners will also benefit from a consultation, valued at R300 000, with the BiomimicrySA team and enrolment in their “Change Makers by Nature” programme. The programme gives participants the tools they need to lead purposefully, think systemically, and design solutions inspired by nature.
Hosted by Comedian and Presenter Themba Robin, the ceremony will be broadcast on PPL°PLANET (OpenView Channel 115), offering millions of South Africans the opportunity to witness the progress being made toward a sustainable future.
From Eco-Fashion and Lifestyle to Circulation Economy and Waste Innovation, this year’s finalists embody the Eco-Logic Awards’ mission to support and promote initiatives, products, and services, that contribute to a healthier, happier and more sustainable future for all.
