London 2010

‘Start’, a new initiative by HRH the Prince of Wales, has invited The Earth Awards to showcase an exclusive selection of our exceptional entries in the gardens of Marlborough House, Lancaster House and Clarence House from September 8th – 19th. They will be enjoyed by thousands of visitors alongside many entertaining and inspiring exhibits. The objective is simple: to invite the public to experience the greatest design ideas of tomorrow – today.

This unique outdoor experience will culminate in The Earth Awards Gala at Marlborough House, the seat of the Secretariat of the Commonwealth Nations. There, the grand prize winner will be unveiled in the presence of members of the prestigious Selection Committee, industry and world leaders.

Along with our media partner Financial Times, The Earth Awards will present the FT Summit Investing in Innovative Design and Technology prior to the Awards Gala on September 16th. The event will bring together high profile thought leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators who share the values at the heart of The Earth Awards – a desire to debate new initiatives and creative solutions which can meet the challenges of our time.
