The prize is a scholarship of up to €1000 for both categories. The organisers reserve the right to award more than one prize. The winners will be announced at the Ympäristöjohtamisen yhdistys YJY ry’s Christmas party in December 2024 and on the association’s website.
The thesis competition is open to entries completed after 1 October 2022.
