Organisation Type
We’re operating in seven highly responsible and growing markets. Our multi-national approach allows us to learn best practices that can be applied everywhere and save on costs.
Location
Projects must be making a difference in communities located in a country hosting a participating Formula 1® Grand Prix.
Community Focus
Initiatives should focus on one or more key areas: Empowerment and inclusion; Education and opportunity; Health and wellbeing; Sustainability and innovation — all with a clear benefit to the communities they serve.
Connection to F1®
There should be a visible connection to the Formula 1® ecosystem — such as ties to local promoters, teams, partner organisations, or affiliated media.
Impact & Scalability
We’re looking for initiatives that are already delivering meaningful results or have strong potential to grow. Projects with long-term ambitions or the ability to scale their work are especially encouraged.
Transparency & Collaboration
To ensure the award makes a lasting impact, shortlisted organisations should be ready to share progress updates and financial reports — and be open to working with Allwyn, Formula 1®, or local partners to build capacity and amplify their story.
