They are FREE TO ENTER and open to anyone who is helping the environment.

The Green Apple Awards was the first campaign to be accepted as an accredited feeder scheme into the European Business Awards for the Environment, so Green Apple Award winners are automatically considered to represent their country in the Brussels-led EBAEs.
There are still only a few UK schemes that have this honour.

The Green Apple Awards are also the world’s only feeder scheme into the Green World Awards, which are presented in a different country every year.
