The AIP is a prize for diverse teams who have come together to get an innovative and creative idea off the ground. Unlike a traditional prize, the AIP offers seed-money and the ability to start something new. To apply, you need an idea, a team and the support of your community or region. Projects can be in the fields of education, sustainable housing, health, performing arts, traditional knowledge, language, and science. The AIP is also about celebrating innovation and the teams that lead the way. Every year the AIP community comes together to recognize the new Laureates and honour the amazing creativity, talent ingenuity and resilience of the North and Northerners.
