GDA Natural Energy Award - have you sent your entry?

The GDA Natural Energy Award is a new and thought-provoking category that honours the quiet brilliance of natural energy—designs, tools, and systems that harness nature’s forces with elegance, simplicity, and purpose.

Think of a compass guiding you with Earth’s magnetic field. Binoculars that gather and magnify light. A bicycle that turns human motion into movement. Manual tin openers, hand-cranked beaters, or thermometers that work without batteries or cords. Even your toilet cistern, operating purely on gravity, is a quiet marvel of natural engineering.

These creations don’t just work—they connect us. They remind us that sustainability doesn’t always need complexity. Sometimes, the most inspiring solutions come from understanding and working with nature, not against it. We invite students, startups, professionals, institutions, nonprofits—and individuals with a curious mind—to submit their ideas, inventions, or everyday marvels that exemplify the power of natural energy.

Whether it's a tool, a concept, or a lifestyle shift, if it celebrates sustainability through simplicity, it belongs here. Join us in celebrating the innovators who rediscover what we've always had: the wisdom of nature. Submit your entry by the 20th of May and be part of the global movement.
