BEEAH Education, a subsidiary of Sharjah-based sustainability and digital expert BEEAH Group, has announced the 2023 edition of the Future Pioneers Awards that aims to recognize ideas and projects that could shape the future of sustainability.

The awards will be presented in two sections- to individuals and groups, including school students, university students, and professionals from various industries, and to small, medium and large-scale organizations, from governments and ministries, to public and private sector companies.

Applicants can participate individually or as a group if they fulfill the criteria for any of the four award categories, which include a mobile application, prototype or invention, social media campaign, and documentary video category.

The mobile application category requires an original, interactive app designed and developed by the individual/group that reflects the chosen theme and represents digital innovation.

In the prototype or invention category, the project must offer a solution to a challenge under the chosen theme, use safe and environmentally friendly materials, be well-assembled and in excellent working condition, and have a mock-up resembling the finished product.

The social media campaign category requires creative and original content on two platforms, a clear plan, and meaningful name, and good engagement.

Finally, the documentary video category requires a 15 to 30-minute video showcasing a scenario with a clear message, script, intent, and inspiration, as well as clear visual composition and sound effects.

In the corporates section, the Future Pioneers Awards aim to recognize corporate establishments that are making a difference and showcase their contributions as an inspiration for entities across the region and the world. These awards are given in four categories- best sustainable organization, best sustainable office or building, best sustainable environmental or CSR program, and best sustainable solution.

"The Future Pioneers Awards celebrate and recognize the sustainable efforts and achievements of people who are committed to making a difference for a better future," said Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of BEEAH Group. "As a sustainability pioneer, the BEEAH Group aims to encourage individuals who are innovating and implementing solutions that tackle emerging challenges.

Hind Al Huwaidi, Managing Director of BEEAH Education, added, "Our aim with the new, international, and pan-demographic model of the Future Pioneers Awards is to celebrate the spirit of sustainability innovation and creativity among individuals, groups, and organizations of all generations. We believe that sustainability is the key to the future, and through the FPA, we hope to inspire and recognize passionate minds who are making a difference in their communities and supporting our region's future-forward and net-zero ambitions."
