Dear MSA Community
The nomination period for the 2024 MSA Environmental Award is now open.
MSA wants to recognise and appreciate members, organisers, competitors and individuals who have contributed significantly to environmental awareness and protection in motorsport during the calendar year.
Creating awareness about the environment through the MSA Environmental Award is the perfect platform for our competitors, members, and enthusiasts.
We should maintain a sustainable environmental approach every day instead of reserving our concern for the environment for just a single day each year.
Together, let’s improve our sport’s sustainability for future generations.

• Pollution prevention

• Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions
