Global Eco-Prize Draws 320,000+ Entries from 95 Countries and All of Russia

The 6th International Environmental Prize Ecology is the Responsibility of All has drawn massive interest, with over 320,000 entries submitted so far. Participants from 95 countries and every region of Russia have joined the competition. Organisers continue to accept applications until April 1, 2026. The contest spans 13 categories, covering areas like nature conservation, environmental education, and the promotion of ecological culture. While exact figures for each category remain undisclosed, the sheer volume of submissions highlights widespread engagement.

Among the standout entries is the *School with the Mayor* initiative from Krasnodar, which has reached the top 110 finalists in the *Service to Society* award. The project is now in the public voting phase on the award's official website. Krasnodar's Deputy Head, Yarchenko, has called on local residents to support the initiative by casting their votes. Winners across all categories will receive prizes such as seaside holiday vouchers, the latest tech gadgets, and bonus points for school students' Unified State Exam scores. Meanwhile, applications for Krasnodar's local *Ecology Is Everyone's Responsibility* award remain open.

The competition's final results will be announced after the submission deadline next year. Successful projects will gain recognition, prizes, and potential benefits for participants' academic or professional progress. Public voting remains a key factor in determining the top entries.
