    1. Proposal Form (read below)

    Unfortunately, we are currently unable to register new Proposal Forms for the Award. The Trust is committed to continue its work to redesign and improve the John Muir Award, which is expected to launch in 2025. We will be sharing updates on progress throughout the autumn and winter via our website and Award eBulletin – you can sign up to receive these here

    3. Review your activity

    Before requesting your certificates, make sure that each person has met John Muir Award Criteria. You can use this simple Four Challenge Review to help gauge this. Certificates are provided free of charge but cost us £1 each to produce and post. Please consider making a donation to our Wild Action Fund to help cover the cost of your certificates and support the John Muir Award.

    4. Send us a Certificate Completion Form

    Once you’ve reviewed participant involvement, send your Certificate Completion form to info@johnmuiraward.org Allow us 2 weeks to process your certificates. We are no longer able to offer hard copy certificates. Instead, where registered participants have achieved the Award Criteria, we will only provide emailed electronic certificates (PDF format). Celebrate your Awards!
