There are three stages to the competition, each designed to support and encourage the development of environmental skills. Some stages may have more than one round.

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, Church Groups etc.
