National Trust's Time + Space Award

The National Trust has just launched the Time + Space Award, a chance for four young people to get the time, space, support and inspiration they’ve been looking for to unlock their big ideas.

Entries are open now to anyone aged 16-25. Each award is worth up to the equivalent of £5,000 and includes a package of mentoring, expert support, time at Woolsthorpe Manor, resources, expenses and more to help the winners bring their big idea to life.

For a chance to win, all you need to do is answer one question in your field of choice – nature & climate, arts & culture, science, or society.

If you submit a valid application for the Time + Space Award, you'll get a free National Trust day pass for two visitors to use at any of the participating places the National Trust looks after.

Deadline to apply: Tuesday 30 April 2024
