Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Free to enter and globally open, stated outright by the organisers, with a live deadline roughly four weeks out
  • +Eligibility is plain and self-assessable: young people aged 18 to 35 for individual categories, plus organisations and universities for institutional ones, with measurable impact delivered during 2026
  • +The application route is spelled out in five numbered steps, from eligibility check through to a final video pitch from finalists
  • +Winner benefits are concrete and stacked: prize funding and mentorship, visibility across a 13,000-strong youth community, digital badges and a magazine spotlight
  • +Well-established and verifiable: UNEP accredited, a UK registered charity, with a published archive of named winners from India, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Ghana, Rwanda, Uzbekistan, Indonesia and Nigeria

Worth checking yourself

  • !THE RECORD'S URL IS DEAD. Both the apply link and the source page on file silently redirect to the homepage, so a young person clicking through lands on a generic page with no deadline in sight. The working page is qsimpact.org/awards
  • !THE RECORD'S NAME MATCHES NO REAL CATEGORY. There is no 'Global Impact Award'. The six 2026 categories are Plant for Tomorrow, Plastic-Free Future, Climate Education for Change, Best Student SDG Project, Woman SDG Leader of the Year, and Community Health and Well-being. Applicants must select a category, so a generic record name will not help them choose
  • !Prize funding is never quantified, so the Fully Funded label rests on an unspecified amount
  • !Entry requires creating an account before the submission portal is reachable
  • !Winners are announced at a London summit whose delegate seats are only partially funded and carry a fee, so attending the ceremony may cost the applicant
  • !Eligibility is scoped to impact delivered during 2026, which rules out applicants whose work predates this year
