Award criteria and nominations

The winner is ratified by the Executive Board and Board of Trustees.[5] Nominations are received from across the organisation and a selection panel made up of Kew Trustees and Executive Board Members decides the winner. Criteria the panel benchmark against are:

  • Building a world where plants and fungi are understood, valued and conserved – because our lives depend on them
  • Providing knowledge, inspiration and understanding of why plants and fungi matter to everyone;
  • Helping to solve some of the critical challenges facing humanity including (but not limited to): biodiversity loss, climate change, food security, plant pathogens, fighting disease;
  • Increasing public awareness of the threat to plant and fungal diversity.[5]
