The Lush Prize
The Lush Prize offers a global prize fund to support initiatives to end or replace animal testing. It is the largest prize fund in the non-animal testing sector, with a prize fund of £250,000.
Although the next Lush Prize awards cycle isn’t until 2022, we are holding an additional conference in November this year for scientists, campaigners and other experts on the role of public awareness in the replacement of animals in safety testing.
The 2020 Prize made awards to nine winning projects, organisations and scientists from seven countries. The 2020 Conference was held on the theme of Can Big Data Replace Animal Testing?.
