Young Darwin Prize 2010

Are you helping to conserve biodiversity with your school or group? Make a short film about it and you could win £500, free books, and a VIP trip to the Natural History Museum.

The Young Darwin Prize is a competition to find the best videos that describe a conservation project. Perhaps you are planting trees in your school grounds or working with a group to help clean your local lake. Whatever it is, by making a short film about the good work you do, you’ll be in with a chance of winning.

There are two entry categories; 7-11 years old (Key Stage 2 or equivalent), and 11-14 years old (Key Stage 3 or equivalent). Your video should be no longer than two and a half minutes, and you can submit your entry online.

For further information and guidance see the International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) website.
