As part of our campaign to kickstart Precious Plastic Version 3, we thought of a fun and accessible way for you to help Precious Plastic get funds to continue its search for a solution to plastic waste.
We want to give you the opportunity to submit Precious Plastic applications to win awards and prices around the web- multiplying our efforts and chances. There is a multitude of potential prices out there waiting to be won by Precious Plastic.
**And you know what’s the sweetest thing?
You get 5% cash reward if we win the award you’ve submitted.
**
This is how it works:
Find an award or price that you think suits Precious Plastic. You can search the one below to get your imagination going or find one yourself on the web.
Make sure no one else in the community has submitted to the same award already. Check the comments or list below.
Fill in the application to your best abilities.
Submit the application.
Comment below name + award (!important).
We hope for the best
We have created a googleDoc with a, somehow, detailed description of the project and its achievements so far. You can copy, edit, improve and use this content in the application process.
You can download hi-res images of the machines and products from here.
We trust our community, so you can use your credentials (email and password) to submit the application.
*Please don’t submit paid applications, we cannot pay for that. **We will pay the 5% reward to the first person that submits the award and tells us by commenting below.
@davehakkens I applied for the Awesome Foundation Grant. I’ll try to apply to more awards, those on the above list and also those not mentioned here. I have some time on my hand, might as well use it for a good cause

The focus of the program will be on solutions that address gaps in these countries including governance, poverty, education, health, and sanitation.

Hi I’ve just applied to the National Geographic – Chasing Genius
The prize is $25,000. I’ve register in Dave Hakkens name and and using the precious plastic email, so hopefully you should get the email.
Hi!
This not exactly an award, but I would like to submit Precious Plastic to Lilo.
Lilo is a French metasearch engine which uses their benefice to compensate their carbon footprint, and to invest in environmental and social projects. For each search, the user gets a “droplet” (which is worth about 0.002€) that he/she can donate to any project they want to support.
Do you think that’s interesting?
@ezekields I would try to ask her how can you get in contact with employees if you don’t have any direct contacts with them? Stalking and harassing them :)?
Sounds a little weird system.
I would also get in contact with Veolia Netherlands for further explanations.
