Planet Media Call for Pitches - Winners

In early 2024, we launched the Planet Media Call for Pitches, seeking to leverage the reach and influence of children’s media to help them understand: Our world is changing, but, together, we can make the changes we need for a brighter future.

We announced the winners of the Call for Pitches at Aspen Ideas: Climate Miami in March, 2024. We are excited to now premier the final realization of their pitches a the Planet Media Summit.
