INDIANAPOLIS PRIZE GALA
The Indianapolis Prize Gala will be Sept. 25, 2027
Every other year, the eyes of the world turn to Indianapolis to recognize the heroic conservationists who are saving the earth’s threatened species. The Indianapolis Prize Gala is an inspiring evening celebrating the incredible victories of the Prize Winners and the DeHaan Finalists, the Emerging Conservationist Winner alongside Global Wildlife Ambassadors and leaders in their field. Hosted in downtown Indianapolis, the Gala was never intended to be a quiet, academic or science-focused affair. Each event is an energetic and spectacular merriment of conservation triumphs, taking audiences on a journey around the world through films shot on location with conservationists.
The Gala is fashioned to inspire guests to care more about animal conservation and place these dedicated heroes on the pedestal usually reserved for sports and entertainment stars.
Sharing the Hope of Conservation
Whether it’s trekking through the heart of a rainforest or diving into the depths of an ocean to follow DeHaan Finalists and Winners, the goal is to share the incredible stories of conservation heroes, engaging and inspiring people to care about saving species.
