Young Environmentalist

Young Environmentalist Competition



This new contest is looking for people like you, who care about the planet.

Present your unique solution to environmental problems by entering this competition and change how we look at waste. You can enter as a team or as an individual and come up with a clever way to address the challenge of waste minimisation.

Submissions are in project form and must show your ingenious way of tackling the issue.

Your project work will go through a local stage first, followed by the district heats and then, if chosen, on to the national final.

The competition is open to environmentalists aged between 7 and 17.

             






Aims and Objectives

The competition aims to encourage young people to:

  • interact with the environment
  • address serious environmental issues
  • develop and explore solutions to the issues
  • explore, investigate, research and undertake an environmental sustainability project


Who can take part?

The competition is open to all schools and college communities and those who are home educated, along with any other young peoples’ community organisations, for example, community RotaKids, community Interact, Scout Groups, Girl Guides.
