The Earth Prize Mentors are exceptional university students who dedicate their time to guiding and inspiring teams throughout the competition — helping transform bold ideas into real-world solutions.

This year, three standout Mentors have been honored with the Mentor of the Year Award 2026, each receiving $2,500, as voted by the Participants.

Recognized for their encouragement, insights, and belief in young changemakers, these Mentors went above and beyond. Their support didn't just guide — it sparked confidence, fueled progress, and helped shape the environmental leaders of tomorrow.
