Earlier this month was a frenzy of activity in London, six UK and six international winners were in town, showcasing their work before being presented with their globally recognised award by Sir David Attenborough at the Royal Geographical Society.

For the international project representatives who had made the journey to the UK, the week was filled with judging interviews, business development meetings, media training, presentation practices, a full-day conference and the prestigious Ashden Awards ceremony - they even managed to fit in some sight-seeing! We're honoured to have had our international winners here for a week and what a week it was...
