The Royal Geographical Society’s Young Geographer of the Year competition is back and offers young minds a chance to showcase their passion for geography.
 |
The Young Geographer of the Year is the Society’s annual competition which recognises the outstanding work of the next generation of geographers. With its age ranges spanning the primary years to A Level, the competition encourages thoughtful and creative answers to the competition’s theme which is set each year.
The Society encourages schools to run their own in-house competition and then send their top 10 entries into the international competition. The Young Geographer competition has been running for over 20 years and every year thousands of children across the world take part.
Theme
The theme for this year’s contest is “Choose Geography.” Participants are invited to create a poster that highlights the value and relevance of geography in education and the workplace. The goal is to demonstrate how studying geography can help understand the world and address global issues.
Entering the competition
The competition has four categories.
Key Stage 2 (pupils aged 7-11)
Key Stage 3 (pupils aged 11-14)
Key Stage 4 or GCSE (pupils aged 14-16)
Key Stage 5 or A Level (pupils aged 16-18)
Students should enter the Key Stage category they will be in on 30 June 2024. For example, if you are/were in Year 9 in June 2024, you should submit as a KS3 entry.
There are two submission pathways. We will be asking participants to provide details of their school type when they submit their entry, and participants will need to fill in the correct online form that matches their school type and then upload their documents into the correct file area. Entries submitted into the wrong school type folder when uploading may be discounted. We will be selecting one winner and one highly commended entry for each age category from entries from state funded schools, and one winner and one highly commended entry for each age category from entries from independent and fee paying international schools. For international schools that are NOT fee paying and ARE state funded, please apply as a state funded school.
The deadline for receipt of all entries is Friday 4 October 2024 at 5.00pm. All winners and highly commended students will be invited to an Awards Ceremony at the Society in London on Friday 29 November 2024.
