Final Showcase & Award Ceremony
What is the Final Showcase & Award Ceremony?
The Final Showcase & Awards Ceremony is the highlight of the Young Environmentalist Awards calendar — a national celebration of young people’s environmental leadership and creativity.
Each year, finalist groups from across Ireland come together to present their projects, connect with other young people, and take part in an exciting day of exhibitions, talks, and activities. The event welcomes up to 1,000 attendees, including environmental experts, educators, families, and supporters.
Who can attend?
Finalist groups are invited via email after the ECO-Dens. While registration is required, the event is also open to the public, making it a great opportunity for wider communities to engage with youth-led environmental action.
What can I expect?
Morning: Showcase
Finalists set up their project displays, with judges, guests, and other groups visiting their stands. Young people get the chance to explain their ideas, share impact stories, and learn from each other’s work. The space also features interactive eco-activities and panel talks led by youth and sustainability experts.
Afternoon: Awards Ceremony
The second half of the day is dedicated to the official Awards Ceremony, where outstanding projects are recognised and the winners of this year’s YEA are announced. The ceremony honours innovation, creativity, and real-world impact across multiple award categories.
Preparing your display
Each finalist group is provided with a poster board and a table. You’re encouraged to bring materials that help tell the story of your project whether it’s posters, visuals, photos, props, or interactive elements. There’s no one way to present it’s about showcasing your journey and impact in your own way.
