The PACT Green Award

Call for Submissions: The 2023 PACT Green Award An initiative of the PACT Environmental Stewardship Committee, the PACT Green Award honours programming from companies and/or artists that inspires theatre workers and theatregoers to engage with the climate crisis and environmental stewardship in creative and exciting ways. Projects could include theatrical productions, events, or initiatives that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to taking action against climate change and/or fostering sustainable practices. For its second year, projects that have taken place from June 2022 and June 2023 are eligible. You do not need to be a PACT member to apply.

The Green Award seeks to recognize projects that:

• have had a profound and sustainable impact on your organization or your community,
• have inspired passion and commitment towards climate action or environmental stewardship,
• can serve as an exemplar for the PACT membership of what can be accomplished at the intersection of the arts and environmentalism.

The Award includes:

• Cash award
• National Press Release
• Green Award Seal (to be displayed digitally on your website and programs)

SELECTION PROCESS

The Green Award jury is nominated by the PACT Environmental Stewardship Committee. Special care is given to select jurors who represent not only different fields of practice within the arts community, but also different regions of the country.

After the applications have closed, the Green Award Subcommittee does an audit of the applications, and ensures there are no conflicts of interest within the jury.

Then, the jury reviews all applications, and scores each project on Innovation, Impact, Sustainability/Re-Creation, and Capacity.

The jury then selects the application with the highest score as the winner and two runner ups to have their work highlighted alongside of the winner of the award. All jury deliberations are strictly confidential.

Applications are open until September 30th 2023 at 11:59pm, and the award will be granted in November 2023.
