Totalling US$4 million and awarded annually, the Zayed Future Energy Prize is a world-leader for recognising outstanding contributions and inspirational commitments to a global future of clean energy and sustainable development. It was established by the UAE Government in 2008 to honour the vision of the nation’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his legacy of environmental stewardship. Through the achievements of its 57 winners to date, the prize has touched the lives of more than 289 million people worldwide.
We invite entries in the form of online submissions from small and medium-sized businesses; non-profit and non-governmental organisations; and schools with pupils of ages 11-19 years. What’s more, anyone may nominate worthy individuals and corporations for the Lifetime Achievement and Large Corporation awards.
The five categories of the Zayed Future Energy Prize awards and their corresponding prize money are:

• Large Corporation – recognition award
• Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) – US$1.5 million
• Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) – US$1.5 million
• Lifetime Achievement – US$500,000
