UK-based Ardonagh Group’s charity arm has launched its 2025 Bright Future Prize and is seeking applications to share in the £40,000 ($79,318) fund.

The Ardonagh Community Trust award scheme aims to invest in the next generation of leaders and innovators. It is open to people aged 15-21 in markets where Ardonagh has a presence, including Australia, the UK, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland and several other European nations.

Applications are sought in four categories: your community; your planet; your vision; and your passion. Applications close this Friday.

Chloe McCormick from Victoria won this year in the “your planet” category.

“As we embark on a journey to find the next cohort of … stars of 2025, I would love to see another Aussie winner and so would encourage anyone who has an idea to make a difference to apply,” said Paul Lynam, chair of Envest Group.

Ardonagh acquired Envest last year and in October completed its purchase of PSC Insurance Group.
