Have you got some young, budding journalists in your community? Well if so, then this competition is for you!
The Young Darwin Prize is a competition to find the best nature news video produced by young people.
The competition is being run by the National History Museum, supported by Defra. They are looking for groups of up to 10 people to make a short news video about their local biodiversity project to enter into their competition.
This is a great way for children to explore your newly developed Community Spaces project and learn about the wildlife living there.
There are two entry categories, ages 7-11 years (Key Stage 2 or equivalent) and ages 11-14 years (key Stage 3 or equivalent).
The winning group out of both categories wins £500 and a visit to a local biodiversity site of special interest. The winners will also be invited to a VIP event at the Natural History Museum to go-behind the scenes and collect their prize and present their film.
The closing date for all entries is 31st August 2010. For more details about how to enter the competition, visit, http://www.biodiversityislife.net/?q=node/297.
If anyone from your Community Spaces project is entering the competition, then please let us know at, press@community-spaces.org.uk
