2019 SHIFT Awards Nomination Form |
SHIFT operates at the intersection of outdoor recreation, conservation and public health to protect our natural world (see here for more information).
Each year, we research individuals, organizations and initiatives from around North America that leverage outdoor rec for conservation gains and evaluate their work using specific criteria: Impact, Innovation, Replicability, and, beginning in 2018, “Outside Rx” (the health benefits of time outside).

The work determined to be most impactful, innovative and replicable is considered for The SHIFT Awards. (A complete list of work researched to date and criteria used in our evaluations may be found here.) Representatives of official selections for the Awards are invited to share their work with participants at the annual SHIFT Festival.
