President's Environmental Youth Awards (PEYA)
How to Apply
Application Deadline
The annual deadline for the regional award program is December 31.
The PEYA competition has two parts — a regional certificate and a regional award. The regional certificate program is conducted year-round. Therefore, applications for this program can be submitted at any time. All qualified applicants will receive a certificate honoring them for their efforts to protect human health and the environment.
The regional award program is conducted once a year. Following the annual December 31 deadline, the regional awards panel for each of EPA’s 10 regional offices reviews applications to select the winner. One outstanding project in each of the 10 EPA regions will be selected to receive a presidential plaque.
