The Natural Leader prize is open to young people aged 16-25 who are passionate about the environment and sustainability issues. The closing date for applications is 2nd October 2023.
Perhaps you are in a leadership position in a school environmental council, or the rangers/scouts; perhaps you are involved in a community gardening scheme or a litter picking programme; you may be active in the Young Farmers, volunteer at an animal shelter, or have a social media following promoting recycling - whatever it is, we are looking for those who are already demonstrating they are aligned with SRUC's values to support the natural economy and look after the environment. The definition of a natural leader is totally up to your own interpretation, and we want to see as many varieties of initiatives as possible. To get you thinking we’ve included some examples below, but this list is by no means exhaustive:
SRUC exists to deliver comprehensive skills, education and business support for Scotland’s land-based industries, founded on world-class and sector-leading research, education and consultancy.

Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) want to recognise the work of young people who show initiative, passion and enthusiasm for the environment and sustainable practices. Maybe you’ve helped set up a weekly beach clean in your local community, or maybe you’re the eco influencer amongst your friends. In return, you could be in with the chance of winning a £500 cash prize and an SRUC hoodie.
To apply, you must:
Submit a video up to two minutes long or write up to 500 words in response to the statement "I'm a Natural Leader because...". Entries must be emailed to us at [email protected] along with your full name, date of birth, and postal address. If your video file is too large to attach to an email then you can send it to us via WeTransfer, or sending us an unlisted YouTube link.
