The Young Geographer of the Year is our annual geography competition for students, recognising the outstanding work of the next generation of geographers.

The theme for this year’s Young Geographer of the Year competition is: From Source to Sea.

We invite you to create a poster that explores rivers, showcasing the processes that shape them, the features they create, and the many ways they are used by both people and nature.

We are looking for eye-catching, creative and informative posters and StoryMaps that delve into topics such as energy production, conflict, ecosystems, sustainability, trade and more.

We want to see you demonstrate your understanding of why our rivers are so important.
Your posters and StoryMaps should think about themes across human and physical geography.

 

Please speak to Mrs Pemberton or any of the Geography teachers for more details!
