INSPIRATION AWARDS: United for a Sustainable Future

ANSC Inspiration Awards 2025

United for a Sustainable Future

Welcome to the ANSC Inspiration Awards 2025, presented by the Arts & Nature Social Club, where visionaries from the worlds of art, business, natural and social science come together to shape a better tomorrow.

We believe that the critical challenges of our time demand more than just innovation—they call for inspiration. That’s why we’re proud to launch our inaugural awards, recognizing visionaries and leaders who are reimagining the future through creativity, courage, and care for the planet.

What Are the ANSC Inspiration Awards?

The ANSC Inspiration Awards celebrate outstanding individuals and projects working at the intersection of sustainability, creativity, and impact. Our goal is to highlight those who challenge the status quo, initiate systemic change, and offer alternative visions for a more livable, just, and regenerative world.

Through these awards, we aim to shine a light on those who often go unrecognized and whose work is essential to our collective future.

Award Categories

We invite nominations across four inspiring categories:

✨ Visionary Impact

For individuals who are shaping a sustainable future with visionary and innovative concepts or ideas that translate into tangible, transformative action.

✨ Game Changer

✨ Next Gen

For young pioneers under 30 who are shaping the world with sustainable thinking, innovation and determination.

✨ Arts & Nature

For artists who drive sustainable innovation and inspire systemic change with their works, concepts or prototypes.

Why It Matters

The ANSC Inspiration Awards are more than recognition —they are a platform for visibility, connection, and transformation

✨ Inspire a wider audience to act for a sustainable future
✨ Amplify stories that drive cultural and systemic change
