The Lush Prize

The Lush Prize is the largest prize fund in the non-animal testing sector, with a prize fund of £250,000 to support initiatives to end or replace animal testing.

Nominations for the Lush Prize 2024 are now closed. We plan to announce a shortlist in January, and an Awards Ceremony will be held in May.

There are five main prize categories: Science, Training, Public Awareness, Lobbying, and Young Researcher.
