Categories and Judging

 
The judges shortlisted 65 shortlisted organisations and individuals from 26 countries – see the full shortlist.

We took nominations in six prize categories:

Science: For individuals, research teams or institutions for work most likely to lead to practical non-animal tests which could be accepted by regulators.

Training: For individuals, teams or organisations establishing training programmes in using non-animal methods.

Public Awareness: For individuals, teams or institutions raising awareness of animal testing. There are two sub-categories, with funding being allocated both for past/ongoing campaigns as well as for future projects.

Lobbying: For exceptional individuals, groups or organisations pushing for change, focusing on policy interventions promoting the use of non-animal research methods.

Young Researcher: For young scientists (under 36 years of age) focused on an animal-test free future.

Political Achievement: For elected political officials at any level and in any country who have made a major contribution towards the ending or replacement of animal research and testing (this is a non-financial award).

 
 
In addition, our panel of judges awarded the Andrew Tyler Award for outstanding contribution towards ending animal testing.
