Young Geographer of the Year Press Release (2024):
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) recognises the outstanding work of the next generation of geographers through its Young Geographer of the Year competition. An international award with categories spanning the primary years to A Level, the competition encourages young people to think creatively and analytically about geographical themes. The theme for 2024 was Choose geography, with pupils aged from seven to 18 invited to create striking and informative posters that demonstrate the relevance of geography and how studying it can help you understand the world we live in and the global challenges we face as a society. With schools hosting their own heats and submitting only their winners, the 1,000 entries received by the Society represented just a fraction of the overall number of participating students. The judges were looking for creative and engaging posters that highlighted the wide range of jobs that geographers do and how geographers make a difference. They selected 16 young people for recognition, with two winners and two highly commended entries selected for each age category.
