The biennial Pip Permie Awards are now open for 2020!
There are two Pip Permie awards:
The Best Permie Project Award is open to projects which are current, create positive change and demonstrate the permaculture ethics of earth care, people care and fair share.
The Permie of the Year Award is for a permaculture practitioner working to create positive change in the world. They need to demonstrate the permaculture ethics of earth care, people care and fair share in their work.
The Best Permie Project will be awarded $250, with the Permie of the Year receiving a lifetime subscription to Pip Magazine.
To nominate a project or person complete the online form.
Alternatively, you may email us at hello@pipmagazine.com.au with their name, location and age. Include a brief description about what they’re doing, how they demonstrate these ethics and why you think they should win.
Applications for Pip Permie Awards 2020 close on December 31st, 2020.
Please share this award widely within your permaculture networks – we can’t wait to hear about all the amazing, inspiring projects and people out there, doing their permie thing!
